Picture me wiping my brow.
Now picture me staring blankly at my computer screen. It's so full of WORDS.....50,031 to be exact.
No, really. DID YOU READ THAT?
50,031
I squeaked in as a winner of his year's NaNoWriMo with 31 words to spare. Holy cow. I think I need to wipe my brow again....
Now...
Picture me rewriting all 50,031 of those words. Editing. Probably rewriting again. More editing.
Then picture a crisp, freshly published book sitting upon the shelves of your local bookstore.
Zoom in to the author's name.
Ah, there it is--Cox & Allen. Yes, there are two of us. Co-writers.
Hopefully co-authors of the best book you'll ever read....
Now, could you picture all of this happening by, say, 2012, please? ;) Thanks.
Phew. Again.
Now I'll picture myself catching up with the rest of my life.
Until next year, NaNoWriMo...
