Wonderful failure in NaNoWriMo

I failed.

The goal was 50,000 words. I managed 21000.

Despite this, I feel proud of myself. I wrote more in this past month than the total amount I have written in fanfiction.

Given that I started from a blank slate with a few notes, getting to 21k is a decent push for an amateur like me. Further, I can continue writing it. If I keep writing, I could have it done and edited by February 2018.

Looking forward to it.

Edit: To clarify, I did write every day, but not at the minimum of 1,667 words a day needed. I failed, but got lots of experience, have a partially finished rough draft, and can continue every day. I developed better writing habits than I have had ever before. I can get better. I can finish. I will finish.
