I'm doing 35 things
I’ve done NaNoWriMo for five years. I haven’t always won, but I’ve tried. This year was so hectic that I really thought about not doing it—but I sucked it up and succeeded in getting 50,000 words. NaNo is one of my favorite things in the year, it’s always great fun to see the same people year after year at write-ins and to really be devoted to writing for a month. I wish everyone would give it a shot at least once in their life.
