NaNoWriMo - completing the challenge

The house might be a mess and we might still be surrounded by boxes but one challenge for November has definitely been met – 50,443 words have been written and the first draft of my novel is complete. The last time I managed to finish writing a novel was 14 years ago – there have been many unfinished attempts along the way but it has taken a challenge like NaNoWriMo to finally make me focus and keep writing even when it got tricky. Of course, there’s a lot of editing to be done, but it feels good to have finally completed something!
