NaNo 2012 is OVER!

So, National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo) is officially over (in my part of the world). And here's the thing: I didn't win. I didn't come close to winning. Like, at all.
My word count goal started off at sixty thousand, then when I decided to be a little more realistic, I reduced it to fifty thousand (the actual preset WCG for the adult NaNo). My total word count is twenty-seven thousand, five hundred ninety-four (27,594).
So yeah, technically, I lost. But you know what? I'm okay with that. I don't wanna say I tried my best, because honestly, if I had done my best, I would have won. But last year I only got about nineteen thousand total words. I beat my score for last year, which means I'm improving (or maybe I just know more words now), and that's all I can hope for.
So even though I didn't officially win, I still feel kind of, sort of, a little bit, minuscule-ly, not, like a winner. :)
