And voila! A novel!
1. This is the latest I've ever verified. We're talking less than 18 hours from the deadline. I'm historically done days before this.
2. This is the first completed in November novel. The entire story, from start to "the end" is finished.
3. I already have ideas for the sequels.
4. If breaking up contractions is wrong, I do not want to be right. I suspect I added a thousand words by search and replace for "don't" and "doesn't" alone.
5. First person, present tense. Thank Suzanne Collins for that one.
