Camp NaNoWriMo has finished!

The July 2014 session of Camp NaNoWriMo (Nation Novel Writing Month) finished yesterday and I’m pleased to be able to say that I was a winner as I reached my goal of 50,000 words. I am so pleased that I managed to do this and I still can’t quite believe I wrote so many words in such a short time frame! The book isn’t finished yet though so I will be continuing to do lots of writing in the next couple of months to get it finished.

Well done to anyone else who managed to reach their targets this month!

The next session will be NaNoWriMo (the original) in November 2014.

First Novel

Earlier this month (January 6th to be precise) I finished writing my first novel. It’s taken me a couple of weeks to get around to sharing this amazing news on my blog, maybe because it’s taken me this long to really take in the fact. I have finished a novel. It seems so surreal to me. I’ve been writing seriously for 8 years now and for a while I never thought I’d get around to finishing one. And now I have. In 5 months. You spend 8 years of painstaking attempts and then you knock up a book in 5 months. I’m still not sure I’ve really taken it in.

The novel is called ‘The Water That Sings’ and follows the story of Anna, who is diagnosed with schizophrenia. The first draft is 77,565 words long, which is 164 A4 pages (roughly a 310 page normal size novel).

Now all I have to do is edit it!

Finally Finished

It’s seems impossible to believe that what I am about to type is actually finally true. Earlier this week I finished writing my first novella: You Watched Me Fall ((c) me 2012). It seems so long ago since I started even though it was only April/May. I can now say I have finished a decent length piece of writing! As of yet I haven’t finished a full length novel but that is certainly my next target. I am also thinking of writing a sequel and prequel to YWMF which should be fun if I do decide to.

Mock non-commercial book cover by me.

You can read the novella here: http://www.wattpad.com/story/1294035-you-watched-me-fall-watty-awards-2012.
