"I don't know why this is, but the cutest child stars end up being the freakiest-looking twenty-somethings."

I have to confess something. I didn't finish NaNoWriMo. Please don't shun me, even though I told you to at the beginning of the month. But the experience was still very enlightening. I learned lots about how I write, why I write, and I have a whole new level of respect of authors. Seriously, novel writing is hard business and you don't realize just how challenging it is until you try it yourself. I still plan on working on my story, but there are other stories that I need to write, too. If you did finish NaNo, you rock so hard! Some year I'm sure I'll join you in the winner's circle.

HOWEVER. I finished NaBloPoMo! And that's a feat I can be proud of. Did you like the alphabet thing? I'll get back to my normal schedule this week, but I thought it was a nice change of pace. I had a wonderful November and I'm totally positive that December is going to be even more awesome.

P.S. The title quote comes courtesy of the Lil' Bro who just popped in Home Alone. Take that, Macaulay Culkin!

I think blogging daily for a month is an amazing feat. Notice that I didn't sign up.

Congratulations on NaBloPoMo! I'm pretty sure I'd run out of things to say after the letter H.

National Novel Writing Month was hard, and I think that anyone who even attempted it should give themselves a pat on the back.

I've only ever gotten through NaNoWriMo once, and I still haven't finished my rewrites. So I cannot shun you.

As to the title of this post, it works in the reverse as well. Remember how funny looking the Olsen twins were?

There is no shunning here. I didn't complete NaNoWriMo OR NaBloPoMo. C'est la vie, right? So I'm impressed you knocked one out!

I watched Home Alone the other night as well! And, yeah, he did grow up looking weird.

Well done with NaBloPoMo-- I really liked your alphabet thing. Also, my brother and I had a heated discussion over which was better, Home Alone or Home Alone 2, last night. Such a hard decision!

Haha...when I'd only read the title of your post, before I saw the P.S., I was thinking of the Home Alone kid too.... :)
