NaNo's Over, TGIO!

First off, yes, I did win NaNoWriMo 2009!

I didn't get as much time to update the blog as I would have liked, mostly because I procrastinated. I would watch a movie with Brandon, then write a bit, do some word wars, watch SouthPark, write some more. My final count ended at 50,476 words, and yes, I did get to the end of the story. Am I happy with it? Not really. I know there's a lot more I can do with it and I feel like this book is just mostly a brainstorm for the real thing to come. I'm going to give the story a few months to marinate, then it's rewrite and edit time.

I hate editing...

In other news, I had a great time during NaNo meeting other writers in Houston. I went to several write-ins and meetups and met some pretty cool people!

Here are some pictures from the various meet-ups since my last post. I forgot my camera for one of them, so it made me sadface.

 That's from the TGIO party, all of us are winners of NaNoWrioMo 09!

This was a nice little random meet-up. We went to House of Pies in Houston and then went to Barnes & Noble for some writing. We made a nice little mess with all our laptops.

More NaNo pictures are on my photostream. Check them out!
