win nanowrimo (again)

It’s the (early) morning of Nov. 28 and I only have 4200 words to go. It’s NOT my weekend; I even worked yesterday for the holiday, but I have one of those jobs where if nothing is going on I can do as I please. I’ve achieved most of my word count on the job. In other words, I’m strong to hit the target in time, though I’m realizing the book itself is going to be a lot more than 50,000 words long. I know how it’s going to end, but, well, a lot still has to happen yet.

...Have I finished the NaNovel I started within the allotted time. Each year since 2002 I’ve let other November events interfere. One year it was a law enforcement Spanish class, one year it was the flu, excuse excuse excuse…

This year, though, I’ve already lined up two NaNo buddies in my town. They’re both NaNewbies but enthusiastic and both much more disciplined writers than I am, so I feel good about my chances this year.

it was just so much fun last year! this year i want to write something which i’d be willing to read after november, and something that i could hopefully finish and turn into a proper novel. that’d sort out another thing on this list!
