That's a wonderful success story, Olivia!

I love a challenge that NaNo presents, and while the word count isn't what stops me up, I am constantly trying to get myself to finish the story while the energy is high, rather than simply getting to a word count and thinking of that as 'done'. It's really a great way to make it happen - and it is within each of our grasp to slowly grow with this challenge and make it about being creative, rather than just an exercise for words. !
