Any WriMo's out there?

CynDe:
I did nanowrimo this year, more as a joke than anything else. My friend that challenged me dropped out at about 1,000 words, but my story kept flying out of my fingers, and I managed to finish by the deadline. Now, after adding 33K words, I am shopping for agents.

I was a little intimidated by the writers that sailed past with 100K words in a month or more. I work full time and have a 3 year old son, but mananged the 50K. Maybe it would be easier if I had heard about it more than a week before, and had done some prep work...

I am looking forward to next year's nano!

This year (well, last year now) was my first attempt, and sadly I didn't make it.  I had been doing a lot of writing at work, then work got busy, and a bunch of other stuff came up.  I think after I got a day or two behind I got down, then I got stuck on a plot point that wasn't working (I didn't have a plot, basically) then figured ah well.  Turns out I was past the halfway point and probably could have made it, but it was a first try and I'm not too bummed I didn't make it.
Now I don't even like the way I introduced the plot, so I'll have to change that, eventually.  I'm still working on the story, here and there.
My best friend's done it several times, but I'm not sure if she's ever made it.
