I Won NaNoWriMo

I'm a winner! I just completed NaNoWriMo for the first time this year. Hit 50,007 words at 9:20 PM on November 30th, 2011.

Yay!

My novel isn't finished yet, but I'm 50,000 words closer to the end than I was a month ago! Woot!

Now I can go back to working on craft projects. I'm sure I can find something to do for Christmas. Tis the season for making pretty little handmade gifts, decorating the house, wrapping presents... and playing Star Wars: The Old Republic. Oh yes, I preordered it. Better get some craftin' done before Dec. 20th when the Empire takes over my every waking moment.

Crafting a Novel in 30 Days

November is half over and you're thinking "Wait! Where did Ava go?"

Well, I've been absorbed in a little thing called NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writer's Month). It's where you write a 50,000-word novel in 30 days, beginning Halloween night at midnight and ending at 11:59 PM on November 30th.

I can totally do this.

Unfortunately my crafting is taking a back seat. BUT the month is half over and I've surpassed the halfway mark of 25,000 words! Yay.

In other news, I did not win the League of Legends costume contest, but I got a nice email saying they really liked my Riven costume... and mentioned some other secret stuff I am not allowed to divulge. (Really, they said I had to keep it a secret so I can't tell you). Apparently there were over 350 costume entries. Wow. O_o

Now I just need to add straps to all of the armor so I can actually wear it while moving. Heh. Then I can wear it to PAX Prime 2012!
