Pking - no one would call you out. You tried. That's all that matters. But just because November is over, that doesn't mean you should quit now. Keep it going!!! My first book took like 6 years to write on and off.
I'd love to keep all 61k in there, but I don't think that's going to happen. Towards the end, I kind of inflated the word count by going all Robert Jordan on some scenes. And there were some contractions I didn't use just to get the extra word
In reality, I think that after I edit it'll slim down to around 52-53.
