I did it.
No, I haven’t quite hit “the end” yet, but I’m only a few thousand away, at most. I made it through the grueling second surprise and final climax of the story. The bad guys are defeated. The good guys limped away, for the most part. Now I still have one more scene in mind near the present to wrap up the resolution, and then the epilogue that ends the ENTIRE series.
Bring out the Kleenex, ’cause if you’re not bawling by the last page, then I failed completely. I’ve seen this ending in my mind for YEARS and it’s been a long time in coming.
Why yes, Virginia, there is an end in sight and I will hit it by Christmas. Since I have tomorow off from the Evil Day Job, the end will come tomorrow. I guarantee it, as long as the power’s not off or a natural disaster doesn’t strike.
Today: 4,505
NaNo: 101,350 *dies*
