If it helps, nano gets a lot more exciting towards the end, for almost everyone. At the beginning it's fun. Then there's a bit of a slog in the middle where you're tired of writing and tired of your story and everything just sucks. And THEN comes the exciting part at the end, where other people have dropped like flies but you're still going, you're getting closer to the end of your fic in leaps and bounds, and you can see that you're going to make it if you just stick it out a little bit longer, and you're just really proud of yourself.
