| I had a lot of fun this year.  The thrill of finding the elusive word, the heart pounding terror at not making to the goal, the interesting people found on the forums.  I didn't reach the goal of 50,000 words this year, and it's the third, fourth time I have been in NaNo.  Yet, I am proud of my accomplishment.  I had reached an all time high word count... well not really since I do have a couple of fanfictions past that amount of words, but for my NaNos it's a high.
 What have I learnt?  That I really got bored with trying to write in dialect for the pirate characters.  I also had problems trying to show instead of telling since this is still a first draft.
 
 I am going to stick to this story even though NaNo is over.  I have been trying to write it for years, and I know that I can get it done.  It's just trying to stay with it and to tell myself that yes, I can write.
 
 Can we say arrrg?
