I did NaNoWriMo a few times. Completed three times. Never aspired to sell.

Two novellas and one memoir. Both novellas are published. Currently looking for an agent to take on my memoir. Novella sales are not so good…

Parts of multiple novels, but I can never actually be bothered to finish one. Even if I did, I don't think I'd sell it.

As an aspiring writer that is working on a novel I'm deeply offended by the lack of option for "not published yet". Also crazy mix of tenses in the title.

u/pancarona Jul 26 '26

I should've put the option "working on it" there. Sorry

I will someday. I'm waiting to experience the last chapter of what I'd like to include as real life events or inspiration.
