NaNoWriMo :: NaNoWriMo Blog

This was my second year participating in NaNoWriMo, last year I wrote a mere 5000 words this year I won. The difference for me this year, accountability to others. I told my kids and my son was the best coach anyone could ask for. He checked my daily word count, assisted when I felt stuck and reminded me that I could do anything if I set my mind to it. He also threw in my face my own words of wisdom that if you make a commitment you must uphold it. Thanks to my son I earned my distinction as a NaNo "winner". It was a great creative endeavor and I am thrilled to have a hunk of words to work with.
