Well...I won. That's right, I managed to write those precious 50,00 + words in a month. Well, less than a month. I started three days late and ended two days early so I did it in...25 days. Cool.
With my first NaNoWriMo victory under my belt, I may just have to do it again. I mean, I didn't really think I was capable of writing that much in a month and now that I know that I can well--I think my writing can improve from there. Thinking you can do something and knowing you can are two different things after all.
Anywho, it's really put things into perspective this win. If I can do this, what else can I do that I have put off thinking I couldn't? I know one thing for certain, I'm going to try harder to get published from this day forward.
My race to finish this in between school, finals and the everyday drama of life impressed on me that if you make time for the things you love everyday, you can be happy. Even an hour everyday can make you feel so much better about yourself. If you have an hour, hour a half every day to yourself you can finish NaNoWriMo too. Or make a birdhouse, paint a picture, sew a tapestry, fix a toaster, or do something that just makes you feel good about being you.
