NaNo 2017 Day 20

I won! I won! I won the NaNo!

Well, sort of. I did meet the word count requirement and validate my work.

But on the other hand…. remember the “notes, notes, notes”….. Yeah, haven’t done much editing with those.

I finished up the epilogue (but not the content between it and the demon hunt).
Then I copied my notes into the NaNo document under the assumption that they’d only give me maybe a couple thousand more words and I’d have to make a post about how all word count progress from here on out would have to be new content, but….

Apparently not.

I still need new content–those notes can’t stay as notes forever. I still need to Finish. A. Draft. But as far as word count goes, I was pretty close before copying the notes over; the way I figure it, this gives me more room (and more time) to edit without focusing on the word count.

So, with that in mind, I will still attempt to finish this story before month’s end (wish me luck!) but unless/until that happens I will not be making any more posts on my progress. Nope–any future posts on this particular story will either be as I upload chapters to Patreon or (gods forbid!) I rebel next year and work on the exact same story. Again.

And the word count….
As reported my MS Word: 50208
As reported by NaNoWriMo’s validation tool: 50137

Fellow NaNoers, how goes the word count?
