NaNoWriMo ended 3 minutes ago, and I proudly present my final word count for NaNoWriMo 2013:
32,168
Yeah, I have to say I'm proud. I'm glad I exceeded last year's 17,445 and I'm glad I count my story as a not-failure, especially considering the quality of its predecessor. Congratulations to everyone as NaNo '13 comes to a close! : ) I achieved my goal of 30K and even got the 32K I was praying for! I think it was worth the hour I spent every night writing and I'm proud of myself for accomplishing the student goal, at least.
Hope everyone has enjoyable holidays, birthdays, and summers and all that--might not write on here again until October 31 2014!

NaNo Update--11.27
So NaNoWriMo 2013 is coming to an end and last year I epically failed with only 17,445 words and now I've got 28,461! So that's nice. I think by the way things are going, I'm aiming for 30,000, maybe 32K. But I'm only on chapter 8 out of 18, which makes me sad because I've really grown to love my story so much and I doubt I'd be motivated to write much after this whole thing is over, which is unfortunate! How grand it would be to complete my novel, perhaps with 60, 70K words in it, even if it takes a year! I wish I could see the day it could be complete! I can only hope I remain motivated to see the end of that thing.
Hope all is well with anyone else's novels as November comes to a close.
P.S. Happy Thanksgiving!

NaNoWriMo 2013 update--11.20
It's already the 20th day of NaNo Time, but I remembered my blog and wanted to update.
Interestingly enough, (or not interestingly enough, since procrastination is unfortunately my strong suit,) I was in the middle of my nightly writing session until I came here to update the good old blog. At present, my new story has 20,860 words and it's 36 pages. I'm going for 30,000 this year, and I don't think I'll ever get to the Grand Total before high school ends, considering it's only going to get rockier and rockier along the way. Anyway, I plan to write buckets of words over Thanksgiving, although those four last days can either make or break you. Considering last year I spent my Thanksgiving vacation sleeping and, uh, not writing a single word, I'm starting to grow concerned. But I really like my story a lot and I can't wait to write the end. Whether I finish it or not before December, I hope I don't lose immediate interest in it once NaNo's over. Although it'll be an odd, odd feeling to write it without constantly checking my word count of course!!
Good luck to anyone else participating this year : )
