Ten Days to Spare?
Holy crap! I've done it! I've actually finished and won Nano! 50k today! I had hoped that by how well I'd been doing at the beginning of the month I'd have gotten here a few days ago. Life got in the way, as usual, and of course there were moments of slackage and brain not functioning. But I'm there. I did it. With ten days to spare and to spend continuing the story until I reach the end - or to do a little sewing, maybe watch a few tv shows I've neglected (I do have season 5 of NCIS on loan from the library at the moment).
In any case, I think I'm going to give myself a much needed break to get some lunch and watch an episode of something before I dive back in, see how much else I can accomplish.
I have no idea how I did this, except to say that as this was a story I've had extensive notes on, that has certainly helped. I think that means I'm really not a pantser. Next year, I'm going to do my second Konnel novel. I'm going to do it. I'll spend the year contemplating the storyline and determining all the details (I've already started thinking about it for the past two years anyway) and then next year I'll write it. It'll be awesome. (And hopefully I won't have retail hours kicking my ass every step of the way and stealing my will to live. *crosses fingers*)
For now, food. Then more writing. Yay!
