Do whatever you need to in order to have fun with it, Longcat! NaNo's no fun when you're stressed out like that. If I finish my outline early I'm gonna try to get ahead too. I've been really busy so I'm not sure how far towards 50k I'm gonna get, but the whole point of NaNo is just to write more than what you have right now. It doesn't really matter whether or not you "win".
