I know this doesn't have anything to do with libraries or librarianship, but I had to share in every possible venue!
My first NaNo, and I won!
It actually wasn't as hard as I thought it would be. If I had been able to write just the minimum word count every day (around 1666), it would have been smooth sailing. But we went home to Arkansas for about 5 days for Thanksgiving, and it was harder to write at home. John and I still managed (he's doing his second year of NaNo). And today, I wrote my last 2,000 words, all before 6:00 pm! John's still working, but I have no doubt that he'll join me in winnersland soon. I am so proud of myself! Even though my novel is complete drivel (and badly written drivel at that), it doesn't matter. That wasn't the point of this exercise. The point is, I proved to myself that it IS possible to write steadily every day. Maybe next time I'll work on quality! I am a NaNo VIKING!

Great job! And by 6pm??? Quite impressive. What in the world is PWNED? I'm completely not cool. Sorry! Does your novel have a title?
Thanks! I just named my novel after one of my characters: Revena HOOD. (Yes, HOOD is supposed to be in all caps.)
Pwned or to pwn is Internet lingo. According to Urban Dictionary, it means "an act of dominating an opponent." I also read that it was originally a mistyping of "owned" on WoW. Isn't learning fun?
