Woo Hoo NaNoWriMo 2010 - Done That!

Using my mad ninja writing skills I done it again.  I actually finished earlier than any previous year.
2005 - Win  - Reach Out
2006 - Win  - Guya Principal
2007 - Did Not Win - Cryptaria
2008 - Did not participate
2009 - Did Not Win - Boys of St. Leonard's
2010 - WIN!!!!! - Seekretya

Once again I had to tack on a truncated ending because it will take more like 60k words to actually finish it right, but at least it has an ending and it is 50k words.

Congrats! Is there a link to where one can read part of it?

I can send you all of it (since it's just text it is very small), but there are parts that are just place holders. I have things like, "[a good Trol family name here]" in it and there is a place where about two pages have to be completely rewritten because I changed direction and needed a completely different person to be in a place. I lined it out because I know the new part will be at least as long and likely much longer.

All that considered it's not easy to read yet.

Unfortunately I like to post the first three chapters (that's considered standard for samplers) but I think my opening chapter is weak and I want to rewrite it.

Much better would be to read Guya Principal. The first three chapters of that are on the blog and I can send you the rest if you like it.

With that one it is very complete until the very end when I ran out of time and wrote a cope out ending. The good thing about that is if I ever do get it published the ending won't be spoiled for you.

I'll pop back to take a look at Guya Principal. Thanks.

As for weird word verifications, today it is kingdog, seriously.

Now it's is Viesha. Maybe I'll change Jacque Kraeper's name to Viesha or something.
