I competed in and won my very first NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month) competition and I am so proud of myself! 50,335 words ... woohoo!

- Hi! My name is Patricia Shirra and I'm a writer for teens and young adults. I enjoy writing fiction novels and short stories. I am also a mom of two who are much of my inspiration for writing. I have been a Freelance Educational Writer since 2005. I authored ten lessons for a Pre-K/K Math Teacher's Resource Guide for use with Learning Resources® Math manipulatives (Schawk Publishing Solutions, Evanston, IL.) I welcome you to become a follower of my blog and please leave a comment. Thank you, Patricia
Way to go, Patricia! I am so excited for you. What an accomplishment.

Thanks Karin. I've begun the editing process on "The Book of Isaiah", which, believe it or not, has prompted me to edit "ASPIE" as well. That makes me happy. So, there should be no reason for me not to have something to submit to be critiqued each month in 2011.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by!
Patricia!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on this accomplishment! I have thought about participating, but my medium is non-fiction (quilt history).
Best wishes on your ASPIE book in 2011.
Best, Kyra

Thanks, Kyra. In addition to editing my YA novel, "Aspie", I will also be editing my NaNoWriMo novel, "The Book of Isaiah," as well as working on a MG anthology of stories. It'll be a busy-but productive- writing year for me. I fell into a slump in 2010 but I feel invigorated for 2011. I pray it lasts all year through and I complete each of my goals.
ReplyDeleteBest wishes to you to in 2011!
