I reached the 50k goal about Thanksgiving, but not the end of the story. I kept plugging away, and wrapped it up today (11/28) at about 66k words. I'm so glad I finished the story and brought it to a satisfying ending.
It's pretty rough. The first part, about 40k, is more cohesive than the second part. The last 27k suffered from my fatique.
It has holes also, and needs to be re-arranged, but it has successfully achieved what a NaNoWriMo novel should. I have a rough draft of a novel down on paper, and I did it in a month.
I really like the story. I realize it won't appeal to many people, but this is the Southern Gothic, grit-lit novel that I wanted to write.
