Done and Dusted - I'm a nanowrimo winner!!

[slashburd]

Well, as my late dad would've said, the serpent's head has been crushed. I have written my novel, uploaded it for verification and it's now finished. 50,486 words in 30 days, from scratch. Half an idea hatched the week before it started, plans totally unfollowed and my first full novel written.



So now normal service can be resumed. The hurriedly named 'Another Way To Be' becomes novel number one. Writing I enjoy can now begin again in earnest. Time for a beer and a deep breath!

So miss Lavaburd, what are the chances we'll be able to read this full novel of yours?

:)

Hmmmm, not sure on that one - I'm not sold on the entire thing myself yet lol

I will be editing it a bit more before it gets printed up so once that process is done then I'll probably upload it in chunks here to a locked flist for those who might want to read it :)

Congratulations, lady :-)


*hugs*

SO HAPPY FOR YOU!!!

Fanking youuuuu :)

Honestly, hardest thing I've done. If you ever need the inspirational legs kicking from under you and to feel the last of your confidence as a writer being used as toilet paper then I highly recommend it ;)

This! Totally and completely what you said. Beer and chocolate for everyone and congrats to you, too, hun! :D

[slashburd.livejournal.com]

[candy-belle.livejournal.com]

[slashburd.livejournal.com]

Awww ty so much <333 I'm beyond glad it's over, I can go back to my slashy thoughts now lol!!

Congrats! Youre the 3rd winner I know! I think I might write an AU-type book where Sheamus is some Gaelic king or something and people are sent to kill him but he finds a princess of another nland and they together try to get back his kingdom together. He'll still wear little teeny shorts & be pale kinda like an Irish Chippendale's dancer. But I've already had 3 dreams that make me so hawt over him.

Have you seen anyone who made Sheamus King OT Ring into an icon yet? I've seen 3 people who have this icon? With no credit, or anything.

Can I send ya some pics of my soon-to-be header? It can look like yours, only green & Sheamus & I'm thinkin' of putting some lyrics from "Beautiful" by Xtina Aguilera on it. Or just alot of pleasureable pics on it.

I'm proud of you, btw, and love to see some writing!

Hey, Nano is the perfect chance to write the stuff that nobody else is doing and floats your own boat. If I do it again next year I think I'll do something totally out of the ordinary!

I haven't seen any new Sheamus icons, and as far as credit is concerned most people say they'll give it and never do. And feel free to send me what you want on your banner, I've got time to do it now so whenever you're ready then I'll have a go :) Just let me know what images you want and what it needs to say on it too :)
