Quick update to conclude Nano. Because I like to keep this in an entry of its own. I'll do my new year update tomorrow most likely, unless I am lazy.
Overall, pretty satisfied with my Nano results. I was giving myself a most amazing amount of crap over them, then I went and compared them to other years graphs. And. Well. Hm. Sure, I'm never over the required line, but I'm never far behind it either.
What I learned:
When you know where a novel starts, stop dithering around and start the damn thing. Also, sequels are weird. I will probably get better with time, however.
