Most people use NaNoWriMo to write at least 50,000 words, and I got a little over halfway. I am overjoyed with what I managed to do. I haven’t participated in this challenge in years, and I still reached some of my goals. I wrote a lot more than 300 words a day, which was my goal prior to November to get back into writing. I still won in the end even if it wasn’t the norm for people. I added two two of my manuscripts. For one I reached 200 pages and for the other I have more than doubled my initial word count of the first draft.

Overall, I won this month and whoever else participated during the event did as well. We all added to our manuscripts and while there are portions of our work that is bad–spinning out quantity rather than quality–nothing that editing can’t polish up for us in the next iteration of our works, be it the same document or a new draft.

Remember folks, stay hydrated and have a lovely timezone.

I missed signing off with that for my last post of the day.
