I Won That Shit

It’s with a pretty frikking great sense of accomplishment that I can say to you that I WON THAT SHIT and I have now completed National Novel Writing Month by writing 50, 265 words of my novel “Conversations with a Crypt Sprite.”

There is editing to be done, there are revisions and additions and if the good Lord’s willing and the creeks don’t rise there’s going to be a research trip to Savannah in my near-to-middling future, but I have done what I thought was absolutely impossible and I have WON THIS SHIT in the middle of crisis at work and drama everywhere I turn and working 12 hour days and getting huge blisters and having people tell me I talk too fast and having strangers talk to me at stores and consuming seriously scary and unhealthy amounts of chai tea and I can tell you that I am pretty damn proud of me.

Thanks for reading my bitching, if you did indeed do so, all this month.

I will bitch more later in the way you’ve come to know and love, but about totally different things. I don’t know if I will do this again next year, but the fact that I have taken this idea that’s been in my head for the last 2 or 3 years and gotten it out on paper (or, pixels, or bytes, or whatever) is amazing. A-MAZ-ING. Rock on, me.

That’s all!

    :D Awesome.

    You know, I remember your Crypt Sprite render. And I still love it. You should make it a print somewhere ;)
