Well, I didn't get it done. NaNoWriMo, that is. 50K in 30 days. Sounds crazy, right? Well, really it's not. 1667 words per day, every day, no internal editor(s). About an hour or so of typing.
I'm a bad typist. It probably will take you less time.
But inevitably, things went wrong. Sick kids, half days, weekends. It's very hard to get caught up once you fall behind. Next year I'll aim for 2K a day, maybe a little more.
But what I did get is a great start to a series of books I am really excited about. Excited because I haven't seen anything like them. This book just flowed. Really. It just fell out of my fingers onto the page. It was wonderful. Of course, a lot of it is a steaming pile of crap but the whole point was to get the basics of the book down and sorted out and that's what I did. I finally started this book and that's a win as far as I'm concerned. :)

Congratulations on finding inspiration for a new series! If it makes you feel better, I didn't finish Nano Either. :( Like you, things came up and when my grandmother unexpectedly died, that sort of killed Nano.
