I have learned as life goes by that money really isn't everything.
Me too! Already, even at my young age. ;) Which is why I'm getting ready to start a business instead of going to work for an aggressive corporation making 75K a year. I'd rather be comfortable with my own shop--and happy--than to be uber-rich and unhappy. I've never understood the rationale of people who work their entire lives away for money. Why? It's not like you even have time to spend it. Even if you grab a day at the beach, it'll be with a Blackberry by your side, checking your email every 15 seconds.
(Now, I've been known to check my email every 15 seconds but only when expecting something Elf-related! ;-P)
Congrats on doing great with NaNo!
Thanks! Like I told Isil, NaNo has been most valuable for me to learn that this is my natural writing style. Every month is NaNoWriMo for me. It's really been quite fun and not much different than usual.
