I AM DONE WITH NANO!!!
Apart from the fact that some of those characters own a bit of my soul, and always will, and will never leave me as long as I have some fandom love in me.
But, I have just posted the epilogue on
nano_fan, and I am DONE WITH NANO.
So it could have been edited better. Yes, alright. But then I'd have never posted it, and I needed to get it out of the way. It might have meant writing over 50,000 words in a month, but it's also borne down on me ever since and I've been unable to write much of anything else since. Now, at last, I've finished telling my tale of the Operative. Now I can let those characters rest.
the_grynne, thanks again for your incredibly valuable help on the Chinese.
greenie_breizh and Frédéric, thank you for the input and the suggestions and the urging me on.
I AM DONE.
Now it's time to get back to writing, damnit.
EDIT: in the personal announcement section, happy birthday to
heikki_cheren (or not, if you'd rather people still didn't wish it to you - take your pick!), and welcome to this world to Frédéric's baby niece, Kim. (I like the name, despite the horribleness that's Kim Bauer. Nice one!)
