The answer is yes! When I woke up on the morning of November 29th I was about 12000 words behind. Over a fifth of my novel hadn't been written. And I knew I wouldn't have time on the 30th to get a last minute ditch effort in.
So it was that one day or nothing.
My day ended at about 5am but the satisfaction I got from completing my novel was amazing! I use the word 'complete' very loosely as it is nowhere near completion. I have to go back and fill in major holes in the plot, go more in depth on character and location descriptions, and I may not end it exactly where I did. Not to mention a major grammar and spell check that has to be carried out.
But I did it!
A novel (in some form or fashion!) has been written... now on to the edit!
And I'm already sure I want to participate in the madness again next year :)
Never underestimate the power in setting a deadline!
