I am Kelly and I am one of the writers who attempted in writing a novel in 30 days. I learned a lot from NaNoWriMo, also experienced many new things along the way. NaNoWriMo opened the door of fun, creative and careless writing; I learned how to write without worrying about the quality, or what my readers will say about my work. Creativity was my weakness, I used to hide my different ideas in a corner and wait for them to evaporate, I was afraid that it would be too different. However, due to the speed I was writing my novel, I did not have time to buzz those ideas off; I typed what came into my mind two seconds previous. I followed my mind, not afraid of anything and to my surprise, my ideas turned out to be brilliant. Now, I am not afraid to open to and experience new ideas. It also taught me that there is no such thing as a writer's block. If you're experiencing a writer's block, you're mentally challenging yourself. There are loads of ideas in your mind, you're just pushing it away like I did with my creative ideas.

I wrote 60k on my original fiction in one month and I am proud of myself. I learned more than I expected, and I can finally say that I wrote a novel.
