We've never said you needed a finished outline. Sure, it helps. But I've struggled with outlines, and I have gone into November having finished the challenge (it is a time minimum not a hard max on finishing) and then did what I needed to in order to complete the book.

I would say, and I know Brandiwyn🎶 would agree, that if you've done each day and worked for at least the minimum, you'll complete the challenge, no matter where that puts your outline.
