NaNoWriMo

Hi All,

Just wondered how many of you signed up for this year's NaNoWriMo and how many of you finished it? I did and I have to say I have found it so motivational and would recommend any writer to give it ago!

I signed up, but didn't get very far, a paltry 3000 words.

I did have to try and fit it in with relocating and starting a new job, so didn't really focus on it.

There's always next year.

After reading comments, in hindsight I should have taken part if it could have helped in my organisation skills and priorities as I find myself wandering on the internet instead of writing - as I'm doing now.

But I decided not to take part as I only have a certain amount on the laptop to write and I find I start one thing, get inspiration for another and start that. I've got many ideas but find myself I cannot commit until completion in most things (other than writing).

I've been working on my novel for the past four years, I've done so many rewrites, plot changes etc; that I find November my most productive month. Currently on the hunt for the write Literary Agent to send it off to. If I don't do it now, I guess I never will. Don't happen to know any do you?
