Growing word count

Work on the novel continues. For those who don't know I started a novel back in November for NaNoWriMo, and I actually won NaNo. The novel was called "Dragon Rider", but I think I'm going to change the name to "Dreaming of Dragons". I'm up over 76 thousand words and just finished one of my favorite chapters. I've been looking forward to writing this chapter for a while. I don't know if it will be critical to the story or not yet, but I had to include it. It's been gnawing at the back of my mind for a while because I came up with it a while ago but had to wait until I got to that part of the story to write it. I hope to be able to post some short stories on here soon.

Greetings

Greetings. My name is Ian and I recently discovered writing. I participated in my first NaNoWriMo in November 2009 and I am proud to say that I won! I had a friend participate with me, he won as well. Having a writing partner is a great thing. Having someone to bounce ideas off of, or complain about what my character just did and without my consent, or to share my little nuggets of brilliance (at least I think so) with made NaNoWriMo survivable. I don't think I could have done it alone. Thanks Boodah. If you have ever wondered if you could write a novel, why not try it. You would be amazed what a tight deadline will do for your wordcount. If you don't know how to begin then check out The Snowflake Guy at AdvancedFictionWriting.com his Snowflake Method is what made me think that I might actually be able to write a novel.
