actually finish writing a book

...so the rather wonderful nanowrimo turned out to be exactly the impetus I needed to do this – I successfully managed to write 50,000 words in 30 days, and although the book isn’t finished, it’s very nearly there. and it’s not the sort of thing I ever thought I’d end up writing, but I’m sort of happy with it – ah, well, now I’m beginning to appreciate the concept of first drafts ;-)

http://www.nanowrimo.org has provided the necessary impetus for me to start doing this. so far it’s going well – basically, as the organiser says, there’s no motivator like a deadline, so 50,000 words in the month of november is a challenge that I couldn’t resist… and who knows, I may actually get something written!
