Just barely squeaked through--about a hundred words over, but I finished the book, which is really my main goal. A day late

As you point out, 'gazer, there's more to it than just word count.

I agree that there aren't any losers You got 20,000 words written, that is a wonderful achievement in itself.

I finished with 65k On the 30th of November we had a power cut for most of the day and I was paranoid that it wouldn't come on and I wouldn't be able to validate....which would have been a real tragedy for me. I had over 65,000 honest words written and not be able to win just because there was no electricity. Thankfully the power came on at 9 pm and I was able to validate

Congrats to all the winners, and a hearty congrats to all who participated. It was an awesome experience and it doesn't matter if you win or not, at least your story was getting written and that's the most important thing.

So, the big question is...what do you plan to do with your story/novel now?

Whoa, this thread is smaller than in past years. I forgot to post, though I did participate in NaNo. Which was a little crazy, considering I missed the first 5 days (traveling and procrastination) and my brother got married. It was a little busy.

But I just started the editing process yesterday. I'm sure as usual, I'll just edit it and then print it in slight disgust and hide it on a shelf somewhere.

I plan to finish and edit this story. It needs a lot of work still, since I sort of glossed over the climax. I'm looking forward to writing that part and closing a few plot holes that have come up in preliminary edits.
