Well, tomorrow is December. I set out this month to write every day. I didn't make it. But I wrote quite a lot. Counting today, I've written 18 out of the 30 days this month. I say that's not too shabby.
I'll try to blog more often than I did before NaNoWriMo started, but it probably won't be quite as often as this month.
Some day I think I'd like to do a lot more with writing. Like I said when I started out on this crazy adventure, I think I'm pretty decent at it. I don't, however, think that I've done my best work this month. What I've done is I've made myself write. And that's something. Write? I mean, right? Lol. But yes, I would like to do more eventually. Maybe I'll follow in my dad's footsteps and write short stories and articles to send off and get published. I think I could see that for me more easily than a novel.
Speaking of novels, though... My mom is the one who inspired me to do this month of writing. I think I said at the beginning of the challenge that this is at least her third year joining in Nanowrimo. Well, this year she reached the goal! Actually, she exceeded it! The goal is 50,000 words toward a novel. Mom wrote 50,051 words. You can see some of them on her blog. You can link to it by clicking on the link off to the side here.
Well, thank you all for your support in my writing endeavors. As I said, I'm not done writing, but am definitely up for a break from it.
Later...

I know that I enjoyed your increased output!!! -S
Wow, Amber, I guess I've been too busy writing this month, so I got behind on reading your blogs. Blogging's a great way to go when it comes to getting in the habit of writing. I encourage you on your short story idea too. That's what I'm going to try my hand at next!
