November second’s total wordcount was, technically, 3,020 out of 3,334. In my defense, I did get myself over the finishline within an hour of midnight. The problem with that metric, of course, is that it might keep me on track for wordcount when I wake up the next morning, but it won’t work on November 30th. When midnight strikes and November ends, I either have 50,000+ words or I don’t.
