something else I am grateful for today

finishing the first draft of my NaNoWriMo novel -- even though I didn't quite hit the target of 50,000 words, the story is done

But... there's three weeks left! Congrats on stopping at the end. I've heard of Nano'rs going back and just padding out the story or tacking a sequel on for a higher word count.

Oh I didn't say I wasn't gonna do that! I added an afterword including outtakes from the original outline to hit my 50K. Heck, I wanna win it. But after this month, when I go to show the book to anyone, I will trim that tail off. But I will not pad the true body of the story.
