First off, congratulations to everyone who finished, be it with plenty of time to spare or only a few scant minutes remaining. You all are amazing.

The novel quietly crossed the 50,000-word threshold Saturday evening with little fanfare, only a smile and a sigh. I was determined to get it done a day early so that Sunday could be relaxing and free from writing.

The book's title was changed from "Huh?" to "Huh?!" for the sake of originality (who knew two others would choose the same name?) and to give it a sense of excitement. It is also very representative of the confusion most people would experience if they were to ever read my writing.

Through this month-long experience I was moody and reclusive and drank way too much coffee. Some of you are probably thinking, "And that is different... how?"
