Hong Kong (12/2): NaNoWriMo Update!

As you'll recall, on November 5, 2007 I set the lofty goal of saying I would try to write a 50,000+ word book by the end of the month.  At times it was hard finding the time to get things done, but by the end of the month I had completed the first of my two goals.  I clocked in on November 30 with 51,964 words of my book completed. 

The second goal was to finish the book in it's entirety by the 5th of December, which was one month from the day I started this project.  As of tonight I have just finished up the final 26th chapter of my book coming in at a semi-impressive 63,303 words!

About two dozen people were kind enough to subscribe to receive updates as I worked to push out each part of the book.  I really appreciate that sort of support and at times it was the only thing that kept me focused on the goal.  I realize that not everyone has the time to read everything and to be honest I only expected bout 3 of the 20+ people to make it all the way through, so if you did, then kudos to you!

So, the next goal in my book's journey is to do a first edit.  I'd like to do it by the end of the month but first I'm going to send out a questionaire to the people who have read the book (you know who you are!).  I'm sure there are typos-aplenty but it will be nice to revisit the story and give it a few finishing touches.

In any case, just wanted to share the completion of this little project.  Here is something I got from NaNoWriMo to commemorate my completion!
