NaNoWriMo final result

As I said previously, I took part in this year’s NaNoWriMo – an attempt to write a novel in just a month. Motto: quantity not quality :-)

The official target is 50 000 words, but my personal target was more in the region of 15 000—20 000 words. And my final word count? 18 288 words. So, just about on my personal target. I more or less finished the initial, novella section of the story (although it does now need some work to finish it off and remove the parts that are just plain bad!) so I’m reasonably happy – especially given that I managed to spend a grand total of only 11.5 hours writing. Next year, let’s see if I can’t do the whole thing!
