Spent November on my first novel (WRITING one, that is...), and am happy to report I completed a first draft of nearly 60,000 words at this point. Am taking some time away from it for now, as it was a lot of work in a short time span, and then have plenty of rewrites and editing to do.
Participated in National Novel Writing Month (www.NaNoWriMo.org), which was a great motivator and online community that fostered high pressure writing, with deadlines, updateable wordcounts to chart progress and compare with other participating writers, discussion forums, etc etc. If you made it to 50,000 words, you were a winner! So that has been a lot of fun, and a lot of work...
