It's not NaNoWriMo Anymore!

With NaNoWriMo over, the bookkeeper is finally going back to her scrape-everything-together-and-post-it-on-Saturday blog schedule. Since her last post was on Wednesday, there isn't much.

Before there is any confusion from the non-NaNo readers, winning NaNoWriMo just means the bookkeeper wrote 50,000 words or more. Everyone who did that gets the label "winner."

If you were curious about why the bookkeeper ended writing at a strange number like 50,009, it's because she'd PLANNED for it to end exactly on the 50,000 mark with the words "The end."

The villain and the monster are defeated, and the town is saved. The end. Then Bookkeeper realized she'd forgotten someone. Again.

The last nine words of the story are:

P. S. We let Fred out of the closet.

WOW ITS THE BEST ENDING EVAR!!!

And here's something entirely different that doesn't have anything to do with NaNoWriMo:

Basically, the bookkeeper had some free time to draw but was uninspired. Her mom told her to draw a mouse, and this is the result.

Until next week, 'bye!

NaNoWriMo day 30: Don't bring a Tree to an Umbrella Fight

It's day 30 of NaNoWriMo and the bookkeeper is SO glad that this is the last day. She's written 50,009 words.

During this challenge she used up seven sticks of mechanical pencil lead. Also, in the last couple of days she tried to see how many words she could fit on one page (1,165 max).

Bookkeeper's brother said that if she needed more words she could write out all her punctuation like "comma," "question mark," and "full stop," but she wasn't THAT desperate for word padding. She did however call the "cafeteria" a "food eating room."

She also made some spelling mistakes:


Unbrella = the anti-umbrella.


Nomsters = why you don't go near the kitchen at night...

In the story's final battle, a tree in a basket becomes a blunt instrument. In fact, there are so many improvised weapons in that scene that Bookkeeper had to note this in her page margin.

Don't bring a tree to an umbrella fight.

So comma have a good day and get some sleep apostrophe-cause you probably need it full stop
