Post NaNo Update

I apologize for being late with this. I went on vacation for Thanksgiving for like 10 days and it totally disrupted my flow (although it was a great vacation).

I got to 41k before I left for vacation on Saturday, November 19, which was averaging over 2,000 words a day. I pushed myself so hard during the beginning of the month so I would be able take a break and enjoy my vacation. And I'm glad I did. I was able to write about 4,000 words over the course of my vacation, but stalled my first day back when all I did was watch Ravens videos on Hulu.com and catch up on some missed TV.

So when November 30 rolled around, I still had 5,000 words left to go. I wasn't sure I could pull it off, especially since coming back from vacation at work always puts me in an extremely bad mood at work and I was feeling uninspired. But I had a productive lunch hour, continued writing immediately after work, and crossed over the 50k mark at a write-in.

Once I got home I pushed through to the end of the climax and rushed through an epilogue, enabling me to type the words: "The End."   

That's four year's in a row!!
