Did I hit my 50k? Nope. I have a respectable 12,124. That's around four times as many words as I wrote last year.

I've dealt with my mom in the hospital and the fact that, for the past week, I've been too sick to do much of anything.

Am I disappointed? No.

There's some good bones in what I wrote that I can work with over the next few months. I know in my heart that I now have what it takes to officially win NaNo.

I've completely enjoyed the experience this year. Even though I won't get a shiny certificate saying I've officially won NaNo, I still feel a winner.
