A short resume of my first NaNoWriMo experience

[freaky-nea.livejournal.com]

- I didn't win. I wrote 20k (I hoped for 25k) but then real life kicked in and kept me from writing
- Knowing how to begin is the most important thing
- Free hand writing is the right thing for me when I intend to write longer things
- 50 k is too much for me. Any suggestions for alternative communities that work in a similar way but with lesser wordcount?

I don't really feel like a loser, though, because I haven't written that much in such a short time ever before.
