After nearly a month of writing every single day, I have won NaNoWriMo!
The first draft of my novel, Stories of a Forgotten Youth has been completed. The official word count is 50,679, a mere 679 words over the minimum. I have several passages that I want to expand, so I expect it to grow with upcoming drafts. The work of editing starts, probably in a couple of days.
Aside from the girl, who I have not seen much these past few weeks, I would like to thank
Kekelyn, TinyHobo, janegeraldine and Lusyd for their inspiration and opinion on a couple of passages. Also, I would like to thank all my friends here who have been very supportive.
I will not be sharing the novel with many people. I hope you understand. While writing has been a hobby for me forever, I'd like to see what I can do with this if anything.

You have no idea how frightening the youtube keyword search for "ron paul song" is, man.
So, you going to get yours published?
