vamysteryfanNaNoWriMo cut significantly into my reading time. For the record, my final word count for November was a tad over 36,200. I'm still working on it - I think there's a good story in there. My Censor kicked in, so I have gone back and edited some more. It's probably shorter but I've advanced the narrative
If anyone has been thinking about memoir writing, Simon & Schuster, the Huffington Post, and AARP are sponsoring a contest. You need to be born before Dec. 31, 1964. Due date for submitting the first 5,000 words is February 15 and the rules are here http://blog.aarp.org/2013/12/23/write-your-memoir-to-win-a-book-contract/
My book count for the year ended at 168, not including a few rereads. To be honest with you, I think that stupid Candy Crush game ate up more of my reading time over the last two months than NaNoWriMo did. I should delete the app.
