NaNoWriMo 2018 is done!

Today, I validated my novel...

Yay!

As I mentioned when I posted my Friday post, I actually finished my NaNoWriMo 2018 WIP last week. BUT today, I scrambled my document and validated the word count on the NaNo website.

This was my 12th NaNoWriMo win, which is very cool.

Here are some stats:

Getting a new first draft done never gets old. And when it's during this event, so close to the end of the year, it's even better. 😊

I'm super excited about how Madness turned out. It was another one of those ideas that I had in my head for months, but it wasn't until I actually sat down to take story notes that everything came together. 

And now, I have another completed first draft. Sure, it needs more work and I've already started a Revision List, but for now I'm happy to have the skeleton of this psychological horror outta my head and in a Word doc.

Right now, I need to take a bit of a mental break. I need to read a bit, daydream about more ideas, and sort through my short stories.

Happy writing!
