I didn't put enough time into it early on, and then I started a new job, so...no. I do still want to finish my story, though.

Well? Who did it? Who won? Who made their goal? Who failed miserably but had fun doing it?
I set my goal at 20k, because this was my first attempt at any such thing, and I made it. This is a first, writing so much in such a short period of time, and I hope it won't be the last. It's been fairly cool, if also hair-pulling-ly maddening at times. Next year, maybe I'll even try for the full 50k. ^_^
~Neshomeh, almost looking forward to going back and turning it into somewhat decent writing now. -

I didn't even try this year. :P It's because I knew I'd have a bazillion and one other writing projects on the go. (Creative Writing course, I love you so much.)
Twenty thousand words in a month! You, ma'am, should be proud. :D -

Did it. Didn't finish... But oh, I had much fun! It's good to really get writing again. The output didn't make much sense, but then I started rearranging the scenes in yWriter, and now I'm really excited to start smoothing it out into something decent!
But first I need to actually, you know, finish the story. That was my problem: No idea of the plot specifics. Overall arcs, yes. Specific plot points? No.
Output: 22,473 words. And the file is constantly open on my laptop so that I can keep adding to it. :D -

I'm still working on the story I started on November first last year. Of course, by now it's over a hundred thousand words long, but still...

Heh. NaNo cut me short an hour, so I'll never know the final official count, but I doubt it'd go from 24,880 to 50K in the change; maybe up to 25K, but eh. Still, better than I've done in the past! Last year's was a bit over 14,000. Maybe next time, we'll see. This was, I think, my fourth try-- certainly not my last.
And then I wrote a little thing about it, and managed to not wallow in self-pity and failure! So that's all good.
Glad you made it! And enjoyed it. ^_^
