Never having written an entire chapter of a novel much less the whole dang thing, I jumped in with eyes wide open and did it.

Welcome Jayne: So glad I could give you a ‘creative nudge!’ HA!
And, yes, indeed, I did finish the novel at the end of Nov…and not just in NaNo’s 50k word count criteria for ‘winning.’
I am currently working on my first read-through of what I call my ‘nano draft’ and getting it into shape for a beta-read sometime before Spring. To that end, I am trying out a new-to-me critique group in the area in the coming weeks.
I already know some sections where it needs to be re-vised, expanded upon, etc, but the beauty of Nano for me is it helped me produce a completed mss to work on with a beginning-middle-end…I heartily recommend you jump into the world of fiction!!!!
peace

Burning question: Did you finish the novel in November???

Spears-Thanks for stopping by. Darn, wish I’d known sooner! I’ve got a schedule conflict with a prior commitment, but say hi to the group for me and let them know it’s not too late to sign up.
