#NaNoWrimo2014 Made it to 50k! #AmWriting
So, while I'm still not finished with Ivy's story- there is still a LOT of her story to tell (I'm assuming her story will finish around 100k just like Hillary's did)... I have "won" NaNoWriMo- since the goal is to hit the 50K mark. For the moment I will enjoy my tiny celebration, knowing that I have at least completed a portion of the goal. :)
The Eye of the Tiger
So... it's almost the middle of November. I have 33,202 words of Ivy's story actually written out. About twenty five million more to write. No, its actually not that many, probably about seventy thousand or so if I can judge the level of my verbosity (is that a word? meh, whatever) based on Hillary's story.
I'm kind of surprised at where Ivy's story has taken me. I always knew that she had some depth to her, I mean everyone has good and bad to them, even characters, even supplementary characters, so when she knocked on my brain and wanted her story written I figured what the heck. Now though, as I write, and as this book takes turns that have honestly surprised me, I can only hope that the handful of readers who aren't related to me, friends of mine, or know me in any way, will appreciate Ivy's journey, even if its an unexpected one.
Thanks to Writer in Progress for the review!
It always tickles me when someone takes the time to read my book & review. As an indie author, word of mouth is your strongest tool to get your book out there, so when someone says "hey, I'm going to tell you what I thought of your book." For me, there is nothing I am more grateful for.

Here is an excerpt:
Dirty Little Secret had me hooked from the first few pages. Hillary is such a believable character that you immediately start thinking "I know someone just like her!". This is a great read for lounging by the pool or now that winter is here, lounging by the fireplace and pretending you are by the pool. I loved Willow Sanders' writing style and I look forward to seeing more from her.
Thank you again to Ella at Writer in Progress, I'm glad you enjoyed my story!
