We are seven days into December, already. November just whooshed away, is it? I signed up for NaBloPoMo and NaNoWriMo when November arrived. By the mid of November, I fell ill and couldn’t continue with blogging daily and that was the end of NaBloPoMo. As far as the NaNoWriMo was concerned, I already had a feeling that I was doing a terrible job there. I couldn’t write every day, but I managed to write around 5000 odd words. That is around only 10 percent of what I was supposed to write.

But the good news is that I haven’t abandoned my novel, not yet anyways. I am continuing to write in my laptop, in my notepad, on my phone, whenever and wherever the musings strike. I guess this will be an ongoing process now. This is a different kind of experiment for me, a very new and thrilling experience for me. Since I am not stressing myself with finishing the work, I am rather enjoying the process as of now.

Of course, I will be signing up for next year’s NaNoWriMo, that’s what I think now. Because whether or not I reached the word count, signing up for NaNoWriMo was the best thing that I did last month. No regrets there.

So how was your life writing wise, completing challenge wise? Did you sign up for NaNoWriMo and completed 50000 words last month? How was the whole experience? Please share.

Rohit has a dream. One dream that he has been holding on to for so long. Tomorrow is the day when that dream finally comes true.

He never was a sports person, not even as a kid. When his friends played cricket and football, he spent time playing shopkeeper and businessman. He was always like that. He liked to manage things. He took care of his sister like a responsible adult when was only 10.

Rohit was sure that he wants to become a businessman when he grows up. As he grew up it changed to becoming a CEO of a firm. But he didn’t want to just wait to get old to become a CEO. So he decided to start a firm on his own. It was just a dream until few months ago. His parents, who have no knowledge in this stream was furious with Rohit when he declared that instead of finding a job just like his friends he was going to become the head of a non-existent company.

The journey wasn’t easy. He put all his time and effort in achieving his dream. Though his parents were skeptical in the beginning, they were proud of their son seeing his determination and hard work. Tomorrow Rohit is going to sign the first deal for his firm as the CEO of his own company. What a moment that is going to be!

As Rohit was going to bed, his father called him. He told Rohit that he is so proud of his little boy in working so hard to make the dream a reality. As they were having a heart-to-heart talk his dad paused in between and said, “Son, I know you have been so busy to make things work but if you go with this face to meet the client tomorrow, all your hard work will be a waste!”Rohit was shocked to hear this. Why is he saying such a devastating thing now? His father smiled and said, “Just shave before you go tomorrow, will you?” Relieved to hear that, Rohit realized how unkempt he had been the past few days. He thanked his dad and went to bed to face the new day.

Next day, spotted the CEO Rohit, ravishing in looks and manners, signing his first deal.
