830,000 Words!

By Darvell Hunt

My writing group, Authors Incognito. wrote over 830,000 words in the month of November.

About

30 members of our group participated in National Novel Writing Month, or NaNoWriMo. The challenge was to write 50,000 words of a novel in 30 days. 11 of us succeeded and rest made good progress.

I personally wrote about 52,000 words of an LDS romance novel. I'm going to spend December completing it (I need about 20,000 - 30,000 more words) and then begin the editing process.

Congratulations to everyone in our group and everyone else who participated in the challenge! You can see Authors Incognito actual word counts here: AI NaNoWriMo.

How does a writers group that big function?; 2:52 PM, December 01, 2009
Darvell Hunt said...: Good question.

Actually, it's not a critique group, but rather a support group. And, it works rather well!; 3:39 PM, December 01, 2009

Around the Blogck

Once upon a time, a group of new writers got together and started this blog about their struggles, their aspirations, and their quest to become published authors.

Now, the better part of a decade later, we've been around awhile. We've learned far more , done more, and gone farther than we ever imagined we would!

Some joined us, some moved on, some became the published authors they always wanted to be, and some are still in the grind.

This is the record of where we've been, a textbook of what's been learned and a heartfelt memoir of experiences shared. Though the writers have moved on, the archives are here for you to peruse, and hopefully you'll find something in them to help, encourage and uplift.
