I Survived NaNo WriMo

I made it through the month of writing and surpassed my goal of 50,000 words by 204.  To meet my daily goal of 1600 words I had to spend about an hour a day writing.  I did pretty well and only took three days off so I didn't fall behind.

I didn't end up with a novel but that's o.k. because I made the habit of writing every day.  I plan to continue writing every week M-F but will only spend about 30 minutes a day instead of 60 on my current story.  Then I will have time to write blog posts and read other blogs.  It was difficult to fit everything in some days.

These badges and a printable certificate were the prizes we were rewarded for our hard work.

The best gift was the self discipline I learned to just write every day.
