NovelEmber 2024
Welcome to my NovelEmber 2024 page! There isn't much in the way of blogging down below because I only kept a physical journal tracking my word count for this challenge, so the page here was added in retrospect with the little notes I did have and what I can remember. That said, you will find some pertinent details to the right. ^^

Conclusion
This was my first NovelEmber and I was so grateful to have it during a year when I was desperate for the comfort and familiarity of the traditional National Novel Writing Month. I loved the novel I wrote, and even though I only wrote 5000 words in all of Week Two, I more than tripled that count in a single day in Week Three, and I leapfrogged over the 50K word goal to breach 100,000 words!
I just don't know how it could have been a more successful, nostalgic, hit-all-the-marks first NovelEmber. Five out of five stars! *^^*

When Christine Winters catches her big break as a journalist, she never expected to fall in love with the subject of her interview, Dr. Benton Quest, yet that's exactly what happens!
