That is correct. I wrote 55 pages worth of words. Not much to a professional writer, but my word count for writing has gotten a lot better compared to the past. The first year I did NaNoWriMo, I accomplished 13K and then the second year I did the program, I only did 6K. In the past ten years, Honor has only gained 27K words. Needless to say, I changed gears and started a new story. Rico in the past 30 days has gain 25K. That is a big defeat in writing terms for me. The story is not finished but the program is. I didn't get to the original 50K I wanted to get to, but that was my fault. I lacked in effort for the last week and a half due to a back strain and a little bought of depression. My realistic goal was accomplished, which is the biggest defeat for me. Next year my friends, next year, will be the 50K run for me. I joined the Young Writers Program for Elementary to High School Students to help get a start in my Young Reader Book that I am trying to write and kept my goal to 25K to be realistic, thus the YMP NaNoWriMo Winner seal on the side panel to show for my accomplishment. Please check out the site to see the cool stuff they have for young writers and to help them get jumpstarted on their storyline. They have great workbooks to work from to get some ideas and writer's block looseners.
