I didn't; wrote 5000 words in one night and gave up. But some people here must have finished, right? I salute anyone who has.

Although I might give it a go next year. I only found out about it a little while ago after all. Seems like a pretty fun thing to try though.

But then I got distracted by studying, coursework, fanfiction and sleep. Three out of four and I would have been able to manage NaNoWriMo on top of everything else but staying awake forever just didn't work out. Besides, I lost interest in my idea and started writing about gay, blond pirates instead. It was much more fun.

I got 8000 words on one story... by

... then decided it wasn't working, switched to a different story and made 7000-ish.
I have decided that full time work, four hour commutes and NaNoWriMo don't mix. Next year, however, I'll be at uni, and thus able to do more writing. Yay! -
Depends on how you commute by

I commute four hours a day too (two hours one way), but spend the entirity of those hours on a train without transfers. In the first week I nearly got my daily word count in the morning. Everything I wrote going back was bonus.

My issue was that my handwriting is illegible and my laptop too erratic keyboard-wise to like being on public transport. Sigh. Ah well, I'll do better next year :)

I got to 8000 before my Quality Control threw a fit by

So I gave up on the NaNo aspect and just wrote as I usually do. My fic's only about fifteen thousand at the moment, but it's much better quality.
