I'm so exhausted today, between work, other engagements and trying to keep up with NaNo, that I'd forgotten that it really is a delicious adventure. Thank you, irish_injun, for reminding me.

Of course I'm experiencing positive things! Like, for example...

I've got to share my ideas with my flatmate and a friend, and got a few laughs and a couple of new plot points out of the deal.

My dad is happy and proud to see that I'm still writing, even though work takes (or seems to take) most of my time.

I've roped a few friends into the experience, and I'm almost prouder to see their word-count rise than I am to see mine; hearing about their characters and ideas is really exciting, too!

I've proved to myself (if only for five days so far) that I have the discipline to stick to a project of this magnitude.

I've discovered great ideas, resources and people orbiting around NaNo.


I hope everyone else is also getting good things out of NaNo (asides from a novel)... good luck!

:)
