I did not complete the Challenge, not even close really, made it just over halfway. I still consider it a success so thanks Tim for putting it out there. It kept me writing every day.

The previous three years I have done NaNo I have finished my story and 50K before Thanksgiving and then stopped. This year my main goal was to develop a daily writting habit that I could fit into my schedule. I managed to write every day this month for an hour a day, first thing after the kids were in bed, then dealt with the rest of life after that.

I have been thinking about my first NaNo novel from 4 years ago, the one that was in my head for 20 years before I took the plunge. I have never taken it past that rough NaNo draft and I am finally ready to do that. I'm looking forward to starting that tonight after the kids go to bed.

Thanks again for everything.
