What a week! It was the last week of NaNoWriMo and our Wrimos were working hard on their word count. Enjoy the final writing buddy chat between Suzi and Tricia. <\/em><\/p>\n

How was your final week? We would love to hear about it in the comments below.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

Sue<\/strong>:\u00a0So we\u2019ve made it! I\u2019ve verified my word count – 50154 words. That\u2019s 24k for my children’s story, The Smuggler and 26k of my novel, Three Faced Doll.<\/p>\n

Tricia<\/strong>: Yay, we did and with two days to spare. As you know I started with Cold Sheets but shifted to The Coal Miner\u2019s Son, sequel or standalone to\u00a0House of Grace,<\/em>\u00a0because the pull to return was just too much. I\u2019m pleased to say that my combination of 57352 words consisted of 13078 and a whopping total in excess of 44,000 to the Coal Miner\u2019s Son. Yippee.<\/p>\n

Sue<\/strong>:\u00a0My last 12k words are very rough – I\u2019ll have to do a lot of editing, but then that\u2019s the aim of Nano – just get the words down and tidy them up later. I shall be back to my editing now. I\u2019d like to get both books finished and out there.<\/p>\n

Tricia<\/strong>: Likewise, Sue. I look forward to seeing The Smuggler Story and Three Faced Doll in publication. \u00a0For me, Nano allowed me to type up a framework that I can edit and layer. This is my favourite part as it\u2019s where my story comes to life. I don\u2019t anticipate a release date for The Coal Miner\u2019s Son prior to March 2019. However, as a celebration of gaining the MA qualification, and winning Nano, I have a special promotion for\u00a0House of Grace<\/em>\u00a0on Amazon Kindle from 30th<\/sup>\u00a0November 2018 for one week only. It will sell at a silly price of 99p\/99c \u2013 less than a cup of coffee! So, if anyone wants to grab a copy and catch up on the story before The Coal Miner\u2019s Son is released \u2013 now\u2019s the time. Check out the link here.<\/a><\/p>\n

Sue<\/strong>: It\u2019s great to be a Nano winner. And it means I\u2019ve also earned my 40% discount on my FocusMe subscription. Yay!<\/p>\n

Tricia<\/strong>: It is. This is my first time as a Nano winner and having a Nano buddy, and FocusMe, definitely helps. The added bonus of 40% discount off FocusMe<\/a> subscription for winning Nano is not to be scoffed at.<\/p>\n

\"Nanowrimo<\/a><\/p>\n

Congratulations to Suzi and Tricia. You deserve this badge and thanks for using FocusMe throughout NaNoWriMo 2018 and beyond.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n
