So I'm finally ready to talk about the end of NaNoWriMo. Clearly I was a winner. That was established some days ago, and even verified by the NaNoWriMo bots on the 26th of November.

I semi gave up toward the end. It's clear that It's not quite finished and I'm actually fleshing out the ending today, by adding in a part that I'd completely forgotten: that the story cannot end before the band actually decides upon its name. And then I'll be happier to call the whole thing finished, even if it could maybe use another scene or two in the last chapter.

It was odd how the last chapter that I'd been looking forward to writing the entire time, took me a couple of days to really get into. But overall I'm happy with the way everything turned out. I, somehow, managed to avoid a lot of days where I just couldn't write anything because I hated my story. There were days when it was difficult to write, but not because I hated the story. I wonder if that's a good thing or a bad thing. I'm guessing I'm going to hate it once I get around to reading the thing over again.

Here's my final NaNoWriMo graph. I forged my own path this year... well, so I sort of followed last year's for the first half of the month, but after that, I went my own way. I'm really quite proud of myself.
