I thought I'd given up at one point but somehow I could never bring myself to abandon the challenge completely. I think this might be my worst story yet but I'm sure there will be salvageable ideas in it.
My poor main characters are currently exploring a distant future and I think I ought to bring them back home before I call it quits.
I grew to like some of my main characters, although the Dad (sorry, I mean Papa because he's French) was a bit of a grumpuss and I wish I knew why my very main character was shying away from any sort of relationship.
Anyway, it's done. Now I can do all those things that I've not been getting around to, like Spanish homework and Christmas shopping.
Oh, and if you want a book that is actually a good read, I'm still recommending Ice Diaries by Lexi because that book has stayed in my mind ever since I read it. I know it will be high on my re-read list when I get my Christmas present, which this year is going to be a Kindle. Yay, Kindle!

Congratulations on finishing! Also, I love the title, its really good.
Thanks, Love! I'm glad you like the title (it may be the best bit!)
Congratulations, FH!
Now I want to know why your main character was shying away from any sort of relationship. I'm drawn to him already...
Thanks, Lexi. I'm glad you feel drawn to Sylvie! She's a bit of a mystery to me but a good one.
If elephants' trunks are for fanfares I'm so glad I don't live in Africa right now.
Huzzah!
Thanks, Whirl!
I wonder how I can get trumpeting elephants into my nov- Oh, I don't have to now, do I?
Well done you. Well done, us.
Yay you! This papa grumpass is he suffering from 'stuck-on-a-stick' syndrome?
Super excited that you not only finished Nano, but that you're getting a Kindle. I have a super secret affair with mine. ;)
Now to find out more about Miss Lexi's book.
Peter, yes indeed! Go us!
Landra, all Lexi's books are really well-written but I think the latest is my favourite.
I can't wait to get my Kindle.
Yay!! CONGRATULATIONS!!! And wonderful that you've got tons of good stuff to work with from this mad venture!
I just got my badge too - I want to print out the certificate! LOL!
Take care

Kitty, Congratulations to you too! I never did find you over there - I'm fairyhedgehog there too.
Woohoo! Well done!
Thank you, Sylvia!
Congratulations! It's a big job getting 50k words out in one month. I know I'm exhausted!
Don't worry, my last NaNo was atrocious! It's a total rewrite job, but at least it gets the plot down for me.
Charmaine, thanks and congratulations to you too!
Writing 50,000 words seemed the most daunting thing at the beginning of November; editing 50,000 words is now looking the most daunting!
Woo hoo! Congratulations. Very impressive.
Thanks, Simon!
A belated congratulations! Yay, Fairy! (Sorry I didn't see this sooner--it's been a super-busy month in real life, and I have nearly fallen off the internet as a result.)
Thanks, jj! I can understand about falling off the internet for a bit. Life can get very hectic at times!
Belated congrats from Germany too, dear fairyhedgehog!
Super! Herzlichen Glueckwunsch nachtraeglich!
Wish you all the best and a wundervolle Weihnachtszeit!
Greetings,
Ivy / Schottinchen
Thanks Ivy! Good wishes to you too (only I'm afraid I can't say them in German!)
