I think I'll be doing NaNo next year. I can't really think of any reason not to. I enjoyed myself, and even if I never get anything publishable out of the process, at least I'm having fun.

I really enjoy it, not just because of the fact that I get some pretty solid writing done, but because it's social too (I'm the ML of the St. Louis region, and we had some fun write-ins). The stories I've written aren't complete at 50k, but that's okay. I continue writing them after November, and it makes me very happy. NaNo isn't for everyone, and I have to take some flack from people who don't believe it's 'real' writing. But I know myself and my skills/limits, and I know I write more/better under a deadline, so why not do it at the same time as 100,000 other crazy people? Besides, it's fun to see people's jaws drop when you tell them about writing 50,000 words in a month. Glad you liked it, and hope to see you around next year!

I should have finished earlier in the day with a higher word count, but I spent most of the day messing around with my computer. I do plan to revise it extensively, but I doubt it will ever be published. Very few first novels are. Thanks, Luciano.

Talk about deadline! :) Congratulations on making it! Do you plan to edit it (ie. make it a "real" novel) and maybe publish it? Wow, 10:30pm 50,060 words? Talk about deadline! :)
