Follow up to: The 2011 NaNoWriMo Experiment

It’s finally over.

I’ve done it.

I’ve completed and won NaNoWriMo. The 2011 NaNoWriMo Experiment is over, with hard-won and hard-fought victory. Those lost hours of sleep were possibly worth it.

***

I thought about using my last post in NaNoWriMo to write a complete reflection of how the experience went. But I only have 50 minutes left until this essay is “due” — when midnight strikes and my pumpkin carriage goes away. So instead of speeding through the essay trying to write as fast as possible, producing things like “Ask Peter #22: NaNoWriMo Edition”, I want to take some time to calm down, reflect, and actually articulate a well-written and thought out essay.

I want to take my time. …And I want to study for my upcoming exams and get some well needed sleep.

***

Needless to say, the reflection will be forthcoming in the next week, as I return the site to normal. I’ll also go back through my essays and clean up some typos, add pictures to essays where I didn’t have time to include them, and respond to comments.

Until then, Happy December, everyone. Enjoy your 50000 words and 30 essays for the month of November. You have a lot of reading to do if you want to be my loyal fan. In chronological order:
