The finishing line.....


Official NaNoWriMo 2005 Winner

50,885 words so far and one more chapter to write and bingo a first draft!

Everyone I've told so far has been so kind. My husband is as we speak down the pub toasting my success with his friends, which is fair enough because I'm stuck here home alone with no alcohol and I've finished my celebratory chocolate. My mum said something very motherly like, 'That's very nice dear.'
But nothing brought a tear to my eye quite so much as my daughter's response. When she got in from school I told her that I'd finished my book and she said.
'Mummy I love you more than conkers!'
*sniffle*
Better than mother nature herself, that's me.
Well in my poor deluded daughter's eyes at least.
