I actually did it!

I finished my 50,00 words for NaNoWriMo.

The story's about two-thirds done (maybe more, after I go through it with a chainsaw for the editing), and it's as rough as sandpaper, but for all its flaws it is MINE.

Woohoo!

heroic fantasy, ardashir, writing

That happens sometimes. All I can say is, do as much as you can -- and if that's nothing, then don't force it or else you'll end up hating what you write.

Good job! :D

Thanks!

I'll never be on your level as a writer, but I appreciate you taking your time to say that.

I think you are to be commended for your hard work... and I'd love to read your book when you finish it. It sounds like a lot of fun. :)

Thanks, I'll remember that you want to read it.

Good for you!

Now all you have to do is finish the story, do a second draft, do a third draft, send it to a few friends to read and re-write it again if they see any problems with it. Piece of cake.

Yes, just little things like that. And this one is certainly going to need a second and third draft.

Yay for you!
