I'm a five-year-NaNo. FEAR ME! I finished 4 out of 5 years, too. (The one year I was waylaid by a new long-distance boyfriend and lack of a laptop. I made sure I got a laptop by the next one.)
Last year was the first time I finished a plot within 50,000 words. Usually I hit the goal before the story ends. I haven't done anything with my novels, though. Hard to work without NaNo...I've been trying to do a novel this year and I really petered out in the middle. *sigh*
I don't know if I'll be able to do this year's NaNo. There's likely to be a WHOLE LOT of drama blowing up in my life around that time of the year, which makes me nervous. I'll still sign up, of course, but I'm nervous that I'll even get time to do anything between other people needing me to be their life raft. *sigh*
I think it's nice that they are doing a screenwriting version, but since getting into Hollywood sounds like a hair-ripping PITA careerwise, I have decided never to try my hand at screenwriting. (There's REALLY no hope of getting it published then, eh?)
