Today is the last day of November which also marks the end of Nanowrimo. I can't call myself a "Nanowrimo Winner" because my novel doesn't consist of 50,000 words. So you won't see any cool winner badges or certificates on here.

I didn't hit 50,000 for two main reasons: #1. I'm writing a young adult novel and I don't believe I need 50,000 words. #2. I got to a point where I really needed some outside opinions to know where to go from there and I didn't get those before the end of the month.
While I'm annoyed that I can't add one of the cool winner badges, I consider myself to have successfully completely Nanowrimo. I wrote every day and until recently, I met or exceeded the 1600+ word count per day.
So I'm happy with that. I'm not a winner, but, with a word count of 36,339*, I'm going to call it good and just keep working.
*Final word count at 11:54 pm is 37,606. I am officially calling this novel done. From here, I move on to editing which I plan to do for a long time.
