Next year, I'll grow a moustache...

At midnight on the 1st of November, I typed in the first of many words that would follow through the month.

Now, with less than an hour to go, I've breached the 50,000 word mark, and found a fitting means to round off this writing project.

Yes, I have "won" NaNoWriMo.

Things that I have learnt in the process:

- Writing can be easy.

- Writing can be hard.

- If I have enough stories, they can combine, like Voltron, to make a big 50,000 word story.

- Doing something like NaNoWriMo is an excellent way for completely unrelated creative impulses to flow - on top of completing NaNoWriMo, I've written more verse and songs in the one month, than in the previous six months combined.

- I have a somewhat romantic streak.

- I have a somewhat masochistic streak.

- I don't believe in happy endings.

- I don't believe in closure.

So... what now? Who knows. I'll probably put it away, and look at it again in three months, once I get bored with my other various projects. For now, it's time for sleepy bo-bos...
