Last week of NaNoWriMo

I have reached 44,500 words on my NaNo novel. Although the contest only requires 50k words, I'm working toward 60k. This has been a wonderfully motivating experience! To set a goal of writing an entire novel in one month, while working a day job and riding my horse, seemed ridiculous. To be well on my way to achieving that goal is incredible! I may not write all of my future novels this quickly, but I know I can if I want to. It's given me some good discipline, too. I highly recommend it to all authors and wannabe authors!
