Winner

52,928 words later, I have just successfully completed National Novel Writing Month. 

The goal of NaNoWriMo is to write a 50,000 word novel beginning November 1 and finishing before midnight November 30. 

I have tried the challenge in prior years, but never got past 6,000 words.  This year, with my schedule being more flexible, and just me and the dog hanging out together (except for the wonderful, wonderful family Thanksgiving that we all enjoyed), and encouragement from some (as well as curiosity, astonishment, disbelief, and wonder from some others) I am DONE!!!

My novel is a rough, very rough draft.  I hope to print it out in the next few days and commence to try and create some cohesion.  I know I need to correct tense, person, ages, names, weak verbs, run on sentences, and chapter numbers.

But for tonight, I will bask in the light of NaNo success.
