Twice I have wrestled with the beast that is NaNoWriMo and twice I have won.
See?
And with a day to spare. This win comes on a day that I was told by my cancer surgeon that there is not another surgery planned for the time being and on a day that I got to watch my cancer surgeon berate the cancer doctor I do not like at all for ordering an unnecessary ENT exam. Massive validation for me. She sucks and I’m totally not the only one who knows it! Win! Win! Win!
I thought that I didn’t have enough story to get to 50,000 words, but there’re probably another 10,000 to 15,000 words before I can say that the first draft is done. I won’t be doing 2,000 words a day, but I will keep going until this draft is done and then beyond into the perilous land of rewrites. I already know that the beginning has to be completely overhauled and that there should probably be extra bonding scenes between the main character and the murder victim.
But for now, pizza.
