I have thus far done a terrible job of keeping all y'all updated on my progress in reaching the National Novel Writing Month goal of 50,000 words written in just 30 days. Thus this post is to let all y'all know where I stand here on 11/24 with 6 days to go. As of the time I stopped last night, I had 48,875 words typed. Sometime today, I should reach the 50,000 and, once I validate the count, will enter this year's Winners' Circle. I know at least two of our myLot family who participated this year have already done so. Many congratulations to them.

You do have your job and there was the holiday so you can't be expected to always write up a storm.

I was able to write quite a lot yesterday and today. My wife and I don't go out on Black Friday into all the mall madness.

It took a commitment to write at least some every single day.

You're going well. What will you do with the novel draft once finished? Edit and publish?

Once the first draft is done - it's still a long way from that - I will leave it be for a couple weeks and then start the first round of edits and revisions. Eventually, it will get published.

You will get there like John said your job and the holiday has to be considered into this as well.

There are 6 or 7 of us here on myLot who took the challenge this year. 3 have already entered the Winners' Circle.
