I've been trying since 09, but have never made it very far at all. I usually ended up getting distracted at 3000 words, and never returning to the story.
But, I have just finished my first day of 1,667 words, and actually found a safe stopping point, right on that exact word count.
I hope that this year, I will be able to finish my novel, and actually be able to EARN that CreateSpace offer of 5 free paper back copies of your NaNo novel.
Maybe this year, I'll finally finish a story I start.
