My ambition for this November was to do a "double" National Novel Writing Month, with 50,000 for Thresholder and another 50,000 for Doomsday Pivot!, a system apocalypse type story. This is just an update on how that went, in case you're curious.
For Thresholder, I assume no one noticed. There were some great chapters in November, in my opinion, and the final word count was 53,733. Nothing really to talk about there. This covers everything from the final part o...
