Made it - 50693 words in 27 days.
Here are some vital stats:
Total hours spent writing 72.2
Average hours per day: 2.67
Average words per hour: 702
Average words written per day: 1877
Unfortunately the stats don't tell what a cruel drag, an awful strain or a terrible ordeal the month of November has been. Will I ever attempt NaNoWriMo again? Maybe one day when I have forgotten the terror, the boredem, the frustation it brings.
But I should also mention the satisfaction, the sense of achievement and accomplishment earned. 27 days ago I had an idea for a novel. Today, I have a novel. It's very rough, it has plot holes everywhere, bits are missing, but it has a beginning a middle and an end - and it's something to work from.
No matter what happens from here, I have finally written a novel.

But come on, the "terror"?
Oh, right, that's when I was threatening you if you didn't finish...

Yay, go you. Some day I'll make it ...
Would you like free promotion for your popular fantasy and science fiction publications? We have started a new Wiki devoted to Science Fiction and Fantasy. You are welcome to create articles reviewing or describing applicable titles. All that we ask is that the content be originally written - no boilerplate bookjacket material copied and pasted - for our site.
In return, you get exposure from one of the fastest growing Wiki communities on the Web. LoveToKnow saw more than 300K visitors last month...
