A Novel in a Month? Nope.

Well, dear readers, I have been doing some thinking. You know how the NaNoWriMo challenge is to do a novel in a month? Well, I've been writing a lot, and... I'm not going to write a novel in a month.
Today is the seventh day of NaNoWriMo, and I have typed the 49,999th word of my novel. Forget writing a novel in a month! I just wrote a novel in a week.

The reason for the sudden spurt of activity is because of my Cousin. Cousin and I have been competitive for a while now, and an unspoken challenge started between us about halfway through our novels. Neither of us said a word to each other, but we continued writing. Soon it was a race to see who could write fifty thousand words first.

I honestly do not know who won.

I purposely stopped myself at 49,999 to wait for my friend, Silver, as always. Despite how competitive I may get with Cousin, I always keep Silver in mind. Well, I entered in '49999' into the box at the top of the NaNoWriMo page, and checked to see where Cousin was. Cousin was at 50k.

We either tied, or I won, or she won. It doesn't really matter much to me now. The important thing is that I'm going to wait up for Silver, because I know that friendship matters over glory.

As for Cousin, well... congrats to her, and well done.
