It's the first of December: for some, a day of ultimate pride, for others, never-ending shame and humiliation.

I'm just kidding, of course. But we all still really want to know: how was it?

hahaha, I tried. Really wanted to start my first year with a bang, but dang, it's hard! can't wait for next year <3

For the third year in a row: "Hey, I could probably pull it off this year. Why not give it a shot?"
Thrity days later: "Wait, it was November?!!?! Since when? I thought we were still in October! ;.;"

My first year I didn't win, but I reached 37k and finished my draft. Won the next three years, but this year I just couldn't get it churned out. Ah, well. On the plus side, I did more writing in November than I have in recent months, so that's a win of one sort.

I came up short with 32,015, but I'm not too disappointed. It was my first year, and this is probably the longest work I've ever done! Plus, I actually finished the story, at this point I really just need to elaborate more and add back in a plot line that I dropped early on

I finished! I even put in double the word count on the last few days so that I would finish before Thanksgiving!
Heaven only knows if I'll ever end up taking a second look at that draft, but I did learn a lot and it was a good habit to get into, now I feel like if I don't write some each day I'm wasting away my life!

Holla never-ending shame and humiliation~

Never-ending shame, even though I did it.

I was on the last day, and decided that with 6 hours of straight writing at my normal speed, I'd get the last 20K in easy. Then there was a change of plans.
So instead of going home and writing in my homeland, I was writing on a plane.

Apparently planes can help your concentration. A lot. And so after 7 hours on two planes, I had the 20K written. But when I got off the plane and into a place with wi-fi, it was 1:00 in the morning, December 1st.

So I couldn't validate.
But I did it. XD

I have exams now...that's a thing...
