Another Nanowrimo Success!

Finished my 50,342 words before the end of the month. Another certificate earned! Proud of myself, but now it's time to go past the first rough drafts of the last 3 books I started. This book, "Repairman Blues" was very difficult to write. Mainly because I had a lot of trouble thinking like a man for a month.

I also tried to take my writing to a higher level of quality. It was a difficult process, given that I had to learn character development and write fuller, more complex characters in 30 days. Still, I was excited when I was able to bring the characters past a one dimentional theme.

I plan to go back to my last 2 rough drafts and finish them, using what I have learned about making characters more real. They each have female main characters, and they better reflect where I am in my writing growth. Plan to start next week with the goal of completing one book next year.
