IT'S OVER! (a week-late post on NaNoWriMo)

it is. it really is. And i did it, i really did.I DID IT. If you're reading this, mr. sutherland, i finally conquered my writers block!!!! isnt it EXCITING?!

It was quite a challenge for me, i won't pretend that it wasn't. I got sick in the last week, and i had a swim meet that took up an entire weekend and left no time for writing. Not to mention i had swim practice virtually every day after school, except when i could avoid it. Its really hard to write two thousand words when i'm exausted, wet, and still have homework to do. i am quite proud of myself for being able to manage my time enough to finish. so GO ME! :D

It's still unfinished, and unedited and badly in need of a good makeover, but it's there. The story is there, in tangible, readable form. My story. It's a new concept for me, to see my ideas on paper and not just in my head.

Now, to give credit where credit is due:

Thanks to both my parents, for letting my use the computer and doing the dishes for me when i was behind. You guys are the best!

Thanks to all the people on the NaNoWriMo staff, though it is highly unlikely that they are reading this, specifically Lindsey Grant for being so gosh darn amazing.

Also all the authors who sent out pep talk emails, specifically Chris Baty,whose pep talk about the strugglers party made me feel a whole lot better about rocking it. And lemony snicket, because he kicks ass. Love you, man.

And last, and definitely whatever is the opposite of least, my best friend Elizabeth, because it was her idea to do NaNo in the firstplace, and because without her support and endess patience of me being a heartless, selfish bitch, i never would have finished. I may be obnoxiously jealous of you, but you are an amazing writer and i couldn't have done it without you!
