The Words: 3606 words today and 50k achieved! After yesterday, I realized I was only around 3500 words away from the end and knew I’d feel ridiculous if I took 3 more days to write that many words. I used to crank 2500-3000 words out daily during November. I didn’t have the time to devote to that most days this month, but I did today, so I set out to hit 50k and did it!

The Story: After hashing out some important details yesterday, I started a pivotal scene from yesterday over, and got to write a fairly momentous moment. I kind of stopped right before a huge reveal, and since I wasn’t really writing a draft of a book, I don’t know if I’ll ever get back to this. But knowing myself as I do, I wouldn’t be surprised if plenty of what I wrote today will end up in some book in the future after all. It will need a lot of fixing up, though, and not just fixing typos and mistakes. I wrote some things that I realized later were incorrect, so it may be more of an inspiration for future writing than directly used. Still, this was an interesting exploration of a place and time that was just a nebulous void before this month, so it’s pure win!

Total word count: 50,160

Since this is my last day of writing, I want to make sure to share the final episode of the NaNoMusical. Be sure to watch the wrap-up!
