Completing the NaNo challenge

So, little over a month ago I managed to complete the NaNo challenge. Around midnight on November 23rd, I had put my 50k in and received my winner's certificate! Since then, the whole pace of my life has changed drastically and my novel has been sitting quietly in its corner. I came back to The Netherlands on November 30th, picked up on a temporary job at the post office which during the Christmas holidays is busier than ever before, and moved back in with my parents. Storm's Embrace has proven to span 77 pages and I'm still wondering where I got all those crazy ideas from. I'll definitely sit down to edit the story at some point and may even try to get it published, but honestly, I have a feeling we shouldn't discuss its quality. In other words, I sincerely doubt anyone would care for it. Yet it has been a nice challenge as far as setting goals and pushing through goes. Next year, if real life allows, I'll definitely do it again and take a newbie or two under my wings. As silly as the whole thing may seem, I can recommend it to anyone looking to do something special just for themselves.
