Well, for those of you who didn't know (and I think I shouted it out so loud from every roof top the neighbours thought I was insane LOL) I won NaNo this year!! That gives me two wins in three years now...

The book, The Nourisher, took over and virtually wrote itself. I think I notched up nearly 5000 words in one day at one stage. Very rare for me! I am pleased with the overall story arc, and yes, there will be sequels, the characters demanded it!

Anyway...what now? Well, I have sent said novel to a beta reader. I know it may be a little soon for such a thing, I don't normally like to send my stuff to anyone until at least the second draft. BUT there is a method to my madness. You see, I want to enter this particular book into the Ravenous Romance NaNo Novel competition, a prize that means publication at that house! (I blogged about this competition previously and have decided to go for it) Gotta be in it to win it :-)

I have about a couple of weeks to get this novel up to a standard I'm going to have to be happy with--then again, what author is ever truly happy with their work? I know I'm not.

So fingers crossed and wish me luck. I will let you all know what happens.
