I have published one novel, and am working on a second, as well as a philosophy type book. I tried NaNo for the first time last year and didn't get very far. My energy and focus just doesn't work that way. It is not sustainable for me. My published novel took just over a year for the first draft, and then more time for editing and cover making and formatting and whatnot.

It hasn't worked for me either... but as I said, I am not really a fiction person. Mostly, I keep tweaking the format to use the challenge as a way to become a more steady writer, not a sporadic one. In a sense, simply being on Steemit and blogging regularly has been really good for me.
But congrats on actually finishing a book!
Thanks! :) It's the thing I am most proud of.
