Well, I gave it a shot but I fell short...45,000 words short, to be exact!
That's right...this past November, I jumped on the NaNoWriMo bandwagon to celebrate National Novel Writing Month.
I thought, "This is going to be my year! I'm going to crank out the book that's going to make me millions, and I'm going to do it in one month!"
I felt prepared; I had my novel idea in mind before I even signed up, I had brainstormed who my characters would be and how they would be introduced, and I set aside a daily chunk of time to devote to my novel writing.
