As you can see from the banner above, I have won Nano! I ended up finishing the novel too, clocking in at almost 51 thousand. I'm very excited about this. I've now finished two novels! I will say, however, they are both far from being done and ready to be sent out.
It's exciting to have finished though. I now have two novels under my belt! It still baffles my mind to think about. I struggled a lot this month with school work and what not, and it's nice to have been able to finish this along with so many other tasks.
This leads into my next topic point. I've been neglecting this blog a lot this month. Last year I posted multiple times almost every week. I think this year I have one other post. However, that will change. I am done with all of my hard school work for this semester, minus one ten page paper. I will have much more time to write and reach out to others. I also plan on starting up on Road Trip Wednesdays again (run by YA Highway).
I'm very excited for what's coming up! I hope you'll tune in too! And tell me, how was your Nano? Did you finish the 50k? Did you love what you wrote? Did you hate it? Talk to me!

And in the spirit of finishing Nano, here is an excerpt from mine! This year's was a YA Contemporary.
___________________________________________________
I
watch him close his eyes and hum, tilting his head towards the sky a
little bit. With the sun shining on his hair it looks almost white.
“Thatch,” I say, my voice barely audible over the music. He looks
at me and smiles. “I do like you.” He slowly walks over to me and
stands a couple of feet in front of me. “I just... I need time.”
He
smiles again and puts his arms around me, pulling me close to him.
“Dance with me.”
“Right
here?” I ask, looking into his eyes.
“Why
not?” he says, smiling again.
He
pulls me closer into him and I wrap my arms around his neck, wresting
my head on his chest. I feel the heat radiating off of him and for
the first time in months, I feel whole.
