So I’m sure anyone who reads this blog regularly has already guessed that when I stopped posting my daily NaNoWriMo updates (about a week into November) I had stopped working.  This is both true and not true.  The whole truth is that while I netted less than 10,000 words in the month of November on my book, NaNoWritMo (the way I was doing it -which was not the correct way anyway) turned out to be incredibly effective for me.  While I did not net a whole novel in a month, or even close to one, I was thinking about it so much that I solved several of the storytelling and plot issues I had been LONG struggling with (like a year plus of struggling). 

I spent so much time thinking about the book (Lola LeFever) that I did have some major breakthroughs and I think I know how to write both Lola and the third and final installment in the trilogy (still untitled) when I finally carve out some time.  So, success through failure.  Yea!  Perhaps that should be my motto in life…it’s almost as accurate as my “semi-finalist” blog title.

Thanks for caring…if you did.  And for not calling me out as a hack-failure when I stopped updating
