I Did It - Sort Of
 by Fëanor

I wrote over 50,000 words of a novel this month, and thus I've won NaNoWriMo 2009. It's pretty exciting, but also a bit of a letdown. Because I'm not really done yet, you see! The novel isn't finished. In fact, I figure I'm probably not even halfway. I'm currently calling the book Doors to Other Places, and I'm going to keep working on it whenever I get the chance. I'm pretty proud of what I've done so far, and I really want to get to the end eventually.

The experience was an exciting, exhilarating, and exhausting one. I highly recommend it to anybody who has ever wanted to write a novel and just hasn't had the time. You're never going to have the time! So just give yourself an insane deadline and do it. It feels amazing.

(UPDATE: I should point out, it is extremely helpful to have a supportive and understanding partner during the process. I couldn't have made it through without poppy.)
