With a day to spare, I inched my way across the 50,000 work goal and promptly collapsed. Yes, I could spend another day stringing together yet more verbiage that will most likely never get used…or I could get back to the rest of my life that I essentially ignored this month. I’m leaning towards the latter.

My head’s still swimming from the experience, and I hope to post some thoughts about it (as well as lessons learned) later. For now, I’m just thrilled to have finished my first novel. It’s something I never thought I would do.

So ends my first NaNoWriMo adventure, and, yeah, I’m already looking forward to next year!

Day 28 stats:

Actual Word Count: 2,101

Daily Word Count Score (words in excess of min daily average): +434

Total Word Count Score: 47,022

Chapters complete: 20

Wrapped up the climax chapter, but I’m still staring down a 3K work final chapter, which feels long. Will write the final chapter until it seems done, then backfill any word shortage across earlier chapters. I left a lot of areas undescribed in my race to cut the plot and get to the climax, which means there are plenty of opportunities to explore the world – lots of flavo-bits to add.

Presuming no big problems, should have this wrapped up a day early!

In to the home stretch. Just started the climax chapter, which leaves a chapter for wrap-up. It won’t be much past 50K words, but I’ll hit the mark.

Aiming to wrap up the next two chapters by the 29th (somehow I doubt much will get done on Monday 30th).

Just slugging out words at this point and trying to get Mia/Kenji/Sora to the climax location. Planning on one chapter of denouement, which means about four chapters left, total.
