Done. With my very first romance novel. The first novel I've ever written. And the first story since my 10th grade creative writing class effort in which I used original characters.

So the first thing I want to do is thank all the nice and friendly people who've cheered me on: Margaret, Wendy, Alyson, Cindy, Amy, Jenn, Vicky, and Anna, you guys are the best. I can't tell you how nice it was to have all the support that I did!

Next, I want to thank the person who's put up with the most because of this month: Jeff. He's a darling sweetheart who didn't roll his eyes, question my sanity, or discourage me in any way; he's been a consultant, a counselor, and a very good partner-in-crime when I didn't want to write.

I've been asked to share what I wrote. As of yet, I am extremely uncomfortable sharing. I will want to revise, revise, throw away, take back, revise some more before I decide on that. There are many inconsistencies I have to duke out. Beyond this, it is a first effort. And like most of my first efforts in cooking, sewing, and chemistry, it really shoudn't see the light of day!

Overall, I've been pretty happy with my NaNo Experience. I'm not sure if I'll write another novel this way, but I think I'll definitely give writing another novel a shot. I think I've gained a lot from this experience and I'm excited about trying it again. Maybe not in this hectic pound-it-all-out crazy way. SLOOOW.

You are so totally welcome for all the support, Crysty! And don't give in to the pressure to share before you're ready. You'll know when that is.

If you're interested, there's a group I'm part of called [livejournal.com profile] psychocommagrlz (I think that's spelled right) that is planning a supportive group edit sometime in the new year, I think. You'd be more than welcome to the group, and it's a very safe place to test the waters of your novel.

Think about it. I'll let you know more when the time comes.

*cheer*

I've loved watching and reading about your progress every step of the way, Crysty! Thank you for PMing me over at NaNo! And whenever you feel comfortable putting it out there, I'll be in line to read it.

I need to know much more about this Jeff. Sounds like a real sweetie to me.
