November was National Novel Writing Month - or NaNoWriMo as it's fondly called by its participants. Though the writing marathon is over, check out the site to see if you'd be interested in "running" next November - it's a fun, challenging, writing race to complete a 50,000 word novel in 30 days!
Well, the crowds have gone home and the little guy with the pushbroom is sweeping up the tickertape around the finishline - only problem is: I'm waaay back here, at the 2k mark of the 5k run, panting and limping with a rock in my writing shoe! :>)
I'm glad I participated; and I'm pretty sure I'll try again next November. Meanwhile I'm just going to keep chipping away at my not-so-Great American novel, and maybe by next November - I'll actually have 50,000 words that are worth reading (by someone not related to me)!
Congratulations, to Jill , & everyone else who finished!
oh baby-- congrats to YOU! The fact that you can still type after participating is reason enough to celebrate!!
P.S. Thanks for all your kind support-- it really gives me the shot in the arm I need right now. Grand merci!

I am so impressed that you tried this at all...what an effort! I think that a goal of trying again, next year, is a good one.
