I'm sorry to have dropped out of NaNoWriMo. Honestly, I wouldn't have reached the 50K. But 30K seemed very likely. Nonetheless, I have written 23K+ during November I wouldn't have written otherwise. And I have learned much about Ancient Yemen during my research. For next year I know to start earlier with plotting, outlining and visualizing a story. Although it was a fascinating experience to write organic and let myself be surprised, it isn't practicable when I need to write more than 1.5K per day. I just need to know the plot beforehand.

If I can keep this pace I might finish the 50K in time. I feel some doubt, though. I am 6,380 words behind the timetable.
