The End.
Sit back and feel that wave of satisfaction.
Done it. Seventy-thousand words.
A great ending. A strong start. Plenty of twists.
Sags a bit in the middle. Needs a bit of work there. That character is a stereotype. That part is unbelievable.
Is it really any good?
It’s dire.
Back to the start. Type: 2nd Draft.

Dear Iain,
There’s a reason I shy away from NaNoWriMo. 😉 As a writer, I feel the pain of the process. Nicely done.
Shalom,
Rochelle

I would rather be walking on a beach, but not in Prestwick in December! 😉

We’ve all been there I’m sure and given the current situation, it doesn’t just apply to writing!

Yeah… that’s the post-nano feeling. You nailed it.
I hope your November went as well as it could and that you’ll experience joy in the coming holiday season.
There’s a giveaway on my blog that ends today, if you’re interested.

Thanks – I think it will be worth it, but there’s still a lot of work to be done!
