I completed NaNoWriMo two years ago and attempted it last year but didn’t quite make the word count.  I considered both years a success though, because I was able to make good progress on a couple of my writing projects.  This year I’m bowing out with much regret.  To stay on track with my publishing goal for Stenson Blues, the second book in my Kingdom of Haven series, I’ve decided to continue with the edits instead.  By the way, I wrote the draft of Stenson Blues as my 2011 NaNoWriMo challenge.  

So to all you crazy writers out there taking up the NaNo gauntlet — Good luck to you.  You can do it!
