What happened after week 6?

In this blog, I got as far as week 6, then there was a huge gap before posting my NaNoWriM0 so what happened next ?

My dog died, I lost a favourite Uncle, and have been generally busy... yes and procastinating as usual.

Then in October my husband had to work in London and Bristol for three days. he was booked into a London Hotel also, as luck would have it, the Tate had a pre Rapaelite exhibition on . Being a member of Tate meant that I could stay in the exhibition for the three days researching for my novel.

I got 6000 words of the first few chapters written and was very excited. Then life delayed me from keeping up the momentum.

...and along came NaNoWriMo so I started up a new novel on the first november. I'd had vague plot plans for this one , but honestly didn't think it would reach 50,000 before fizzling out. As you have to start a new novel for NaNo I went with it.

The characters soon started dictating the plot to me. I was surprised how it turned out. Much better than the plot I had planned originally !


Hopefully now I will do the research into Runes to complete the novel... and then I can go back to the pre Raphaelite one.

Well I did it !! After 30 years of procastinating I finally wrote a novel. It isn't finished yet , but I got as far as 50,529 words with NaNoWriMo in 29 days. Talk about making up for lost time :)

 
                                        So there it is. The certificate to say,' I can do it.'


 
All I have to do now is finish it, edit it, and think about sending it off somewhere.
