Well my end is anyway. I tried to reach the 50,000 word goal and fell a little short. I have had some problems in my personal life, problems that I am the direct cause of. They have caused me to not write, as well as other stress in my home life. I still believe that I did well in my first showing for NaNoWriMo. I will definitely try again next year. It did teach me one thing, that if I put my mind to it I can accomplish a hell of a lot. I can even write more than I ever have before. Not exactly sure how good it is, though my friend Chris says that it is good. I still need to finish it, proof it and edit it. So I’m a long way off from it being finished but at least I know that I can do it. I can write. NaNoWriMo was great for me, and I would recommend it to anyone who wants to write. It made me realize that I can write, and also that I can’t let my internal editor stop me.

I just hope that I can learn to solve the other things that have been the root of all the issues in my personal life. I know damn well that I am going to try. I have two beautiful kids and an incredible loving and tolerant wife, who puts up with way to much shit from me, to just give up on them. If I need to remake myself from the ground up, so be it. I’ll just have to do it. Enough about that, there will be more later I’m sure.
