Victory and Celebrations!

Victory and Celebrations!

Yesterday, twenty of our students crossed the NaNoWriMo finish line and watched their percentage bar change from green to the winning purple.

 

Massive congratulations go those who made it to the massive 50,000 word mark:

 

Nick

Rachel

Kirsty

Abi

Megan

Sophie

Oscar

Lucy

Rachel

Will

Nathan

Jenna

 

And a big well done to those who chose slightly lower word counts on the Young Writers’ Program:

 

Ben

Alex

Lucy

Matt

Pippa

Sophie

Islay

Delphine

 

I’m hoping that most of them will continue writing and finish their stories, but those who finished early have already discovered how much harder it with without the impetus of NaNoWriMo.  But all are planning to send their work away to have a single copy printed and bound by one of the site sponsors so that they can wave their volumes around triumphantly.  We’re been really lucky with the support that we’ve had from staff this year; although none of the teaching staff were able to join us writing, all our novelists were excused from lessons yesterday so that they could spend the day tapping away.  Special thanks go to those who teach Year 11, as they have mocks starting today (good luck Abi and Rachel!).

This morning, all of the 'Warning! Novelling in Progress!' signs came down and the library feels a little empty.  Time to fill it with fairylights I think...
