I'm a Winner!

I did it!  Thirty days of literary abandon.  This November I participated in the National Novel Writing Month challenge.  The goal, starting at 12:01am Nov 1st, write a 50,000 word novel by 11:59pm Nov. 30th.  Here it is the 27th, my novel is submitted, and I come in at 51,037 words.  What a relief.  The novel is far from finished; I've got some pretty serious editing to do.  However, I am mighty proud of myself.
