So I've made it through NaNoWriMo. I did not win. And just
for anyone not familiar with NaNo, "winning" just means you wrote
50,000 words. You get a PDF certificate that says you won. It's not a
competition where your work is judged. You don't get your book published. You
just have a whole bunch of words that you wrote, that you can edit into
something better, if you want to. It's a challenge, not a competition.
Anyway, I didn't write 50,000 words. I wrote 33,007.
Honestly, not bad. Some of it was not complete crap. But more importantly, I
learned a valuable lesson.
I am not a pantser.
