NaNoWriMo :: NaNoWriMo Blog

This is the first year I've competed. Funny thing is I'd never heard of it until about a week before the contest. I happened to come across a link to the website on Writer's Digest. I went to the NaNoWriMo website and read a little, saw Chris Baty's book - went out and bought it the very same day - and got really inspired. Writing has been a dream of mine for a very long time. I don't think I would have ever known I COULD write a complete novel without finding Chris's website, buying the book and taking on the NaNoWriMo challenge. Thank you so much!! I hit 50,000 words on Nov 31, at about 8:00 p.m. - at 2:00 pm I had about 5,000 to go and did not think I would be able make it. Sheer determination and Chris's inspiring words helped me through it - and luckily my family was willing to put up with me and my crazy endeavor.
