It’s over.
It’s been fun, guys.
Give yourself a pat on the back, whether you finished or not. It’s been a valiant effort in either case.

Every year, several people write 50,000 words in three days and win.
Every year, hundreds of people write 25,000 words in three days and win.
Every year, thousands of people write 15,000 words in three days and win.
If you’re still writing, you’re still on track.
You can do it.

2 more days!
Turn off your internet connection, go lock yourself in your room, and write a thousand words. Take a break. Repeat.
Today, plus three more days

And this insanity is over.
It went quickly, didn’t it?
A novel seemed the easiest way to get what I had had in my head into the inside of other people’s heads. Books are good that way.

For the Go On Without Me’s: This is going to sound really weird, but you’re in the best shape of all three groups. You’re off the map, but that’s the point of this escapade. NaNoWriMo is to there to put you in such an impossible situation that you can stop worrying about perfection and achievement and just savor the thrill that comes with making and doing. Think of the remaining days in NaNoWriMo as an anything-goes creative retreat. You sacrificed your novel to the world around you this month, and the world around you appreciated it. But you now get some time for you. You may not write 50,000 words, but you still have plenty of time to create something smaller and equally wonderful. Return to the page—there’s still a beautiful adventure waiting for you.
