Am I Failing at NaNoWriMo?

This month is almost over and I haven't many words to show for it. And you know what? I'm fine with it. I don't consider it failing if I am unable to meet the 50K word goal. I tried to not pressure myself too much with meeting the word goals. My obsessive tendencies don't need anymore encouragement.

That being said, what I have been working on has been interesting but definitely outside my comfort zone. I am trying something that on the surface seems easy but in actuality is pretty difficult, especially when I am continuously questioning myself.

I don't know if this NaNoWriMo will be something that I will eventually use. I am still working with the material from last year's. I hope to have something publishable before the end of the year. That would be nice. If I don't, I will try very hard not to make myself feel shitty about it.
