63,884 words = full plot

WIN!!!!! So, I may have passed the 50k mark a week ago, but that didn't mean that I felt I had finished NaNoWriMo. My secret inner goal, was to finish the entire book, regardless of length, during November. Last night at 11:15pm, that happened. Woot!

So, now I've got a completed first draft that needs a ton of work, actually it's not even a first draft yet, because parts of it that were written down by hand outside of November still need to be added in. But, that can all be done with relative ease and now I'm going to take some time off to study for a big Japanese Language Proficiency test that I have this weekend.

That's really all I have to say at this point in time. I am excited, I am looking forward to revising (which is kind of a new feeling so that's good) I am happy and I am tired. I also don't really feel like I've finished anything yet because this is just the rough draft. I am really looking forward to actually editing this enough for it to feel like a real novel.

I'm also feeling a bit dopey so I think it's time to wrap this up and go put some food in me. Hope everyone has been enjoying their holidays.

Madame!
I know who you are!
And whilst this is a five month old piece of writing, it is still a piece of writing and as such five consecutive exclamation marks in an unforgivable offense.
