The party's still going on, so hang around as long as you like.
And in keeping with the party spirit . . .
THE HATING GAME
When man-eater Mattie Johns agrees to star on a dating game show to save her ailing recruitment business, she's confident she'll sail through to the end without letting down the perma-guard she's perfected from years of her love 'em and leave 'em dating strategy. After all, what can go wrong with dating a few losers and hanging out long enough to pick up a juicy £200,000 prize? Plenty, Mattie discovers, when it's revealed that the contestants are four of her very unhappy exes. Can Mattie confront her past to get the prize money she so desperately needs, or will her exes finally wreak their long-awaited revenge? And what about the ambitious TV producer whose career depends on stopping her from making it to the end? finally arrived.
Talli's Kindle release day has finally arrived. Go to Amazon TODAY and order The Hating Game to help boost her sales ranking.
Comments
I've posted for Talli also on my blog. I think she's going to do well with this, mainly because this is such a supportive blogging community!!!
And best wishes to Talli, hoping her book takes top billing!
I did finish my 50,000 but I still have a lot of work to do. Progress, that's something.
Congrats to everyone else.

Joanne - I was a cheerleader, too.
Clarissa - Yea! Congrats :)
:)
I hit the goal of 50,000, although my main goal was to get a really great start on a sequel to my book. I thought NaNo was fun. And yes, I still like my project - and I'm still working on it.
Go Talli!
I didn't do NaNo, but three cheers to all those who did. They have my admiration.
Sorry I haven't been around the blog block lately. :)
Yes, I participated!
I did reach my goal! And I even got beyond 50,000!
Satisfied, although I want to continue writing like crazy. :D
I still love my novel--I've been working on it for a while now!
Alex - Congratulations! And I'm glad you still love your project.
Kathi - They have mine, too. 50,000 words in 30 days is awesome.
Golden Eagle - Congratulations again! I'm glad you're still writing and loving it :)
Congratulations to Talli and wishing her good luck too.
BTW, the chocolate taste delicious even with my cold. Thanks for having me at your party.

Thoughts in Progress
I didn't participate this year, but I was cheering others on.
Thanks for the chocolate. ;)
That's a cute Tiki Hut badge. I assume you made it. I haven't a clue how to do that.
Laura - Yea! Another cheerleader! The Leaping Tiki seemed appropriate :)
Helen - I did make it, but no idea if what I did was correct or not. I have no idea how it will copy and paste or attach in any other way. Hope it works - LOL.
Holly - Yeah - from me, too :)
I bought the book and will read over Christmas break. Congrats to Talli!
Congrats to all the NaNo participants! You deserve it.
Chary - My plate is piled high, too, so I opted to be a cheerleader. Cool about Talli's book! You hear that, Talli?
He is so amazing. And really enjoyed it!!!
Blessings and congrats!

Yes, I did NaNo. Goal reached: 51k+. NaNo is great for getting words on the page, but it's what you do with those words after NaNo that matters. I'm still very excited about my NaNo project.
Go Talli!!! I'm so thrilled for her.
I have a lot of editing to do - for a start, the story doesn't seem to have an actual plot. A minor detail (!) but one I'd like to sort out.
So, I'll enjoy the snacks and chocolate in here and say a big thank you! It's great to have people who don't take part cheering us on!
Where is the pudding wrestling?
Taquitos!!! Oh, I LIKE this party!
Yes, managed... my goal was not just the finished 50K but a solid first draft. I think the genre I chose helped, as it currently sits at 56K and I have a couple story threads to add in at revision, so it should end up at a sweet 70K when it is filled out, but there aren't GAPING holes (my last two WriMos have had them). Mystery seems to be easier for me to follow a PLAN, and this was a YA mystery, so very slightly less dark and complicated...
Thanks for the mimosa!
Maryann - Bah! Humbug! Have fun with that old miser.
fairyhedgehog - My Novembers are full-up with family goings-on, so there's little hope for me with NaNo, so this is my way of participating - as a cheerleader for all of you. Congrats on getting your words. Now...go find that missing plot!
Hart - Great job! The pudding wrestling is over by those two coconut palms if you haven't found it yet. Did I find a gorgeous bartender or what :)
And I still like my NaNo project but it could use a little spice, project for next draft.
