AAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAA!

AAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHA!

SO I HAVE DONE IT! THAT'S RIGHT!
I now control the universe and all that are in it! Well okay that is a lie .. I am only almost there.

After being wonderfully ill for several weeks, I pulled myself to my laptop and ignored the world for a little under 14 days to finish NaNoWriMo .. at the halfway point I only had 1504 words of the 50,000.

This morning at 7am, with no sleep for the past few nights I dragged myself across the finish line, precious cup of coffee in tow (it's white chocolate coffee .. can't abandon that!) and 224 words over the required 50,000 for midnight tonight. Is my story done? Almost. I didn't want to end it for the sake of ending it because I hit the word goal. I would feel like I wasted my time if I did that. So a proper ending will come within the next few days.

What now? WELL I still have to pass in my knitting homework for all my classes at HPKCHC. I am aiming for two classes by the end of today (deadline for that is also tonight, thus the need for the days of no sleep.)

Despite the stress and feelings of "Omg! I will never get this done!" And "I still have my six knitting classes I haven't started yet ahhhhhhhh!" I actually had a whole lot of fun doing this! It's a story that doesn't have to be good. It can go anywhere you want and you don't have to worry about it. You just go with it. You write for the sake of writing and not to impress anyone else. I like my story. I am happy with it and I am SO glad I did this.

I seriously recommend next year's NaNoWriMo to you all. It was a fabulous month! If you aren't into novels there is a script(stage and screen)/tv show/graphic novel event in April. Check it out. It's called Script Frenzy.
