The Big Scary Adventure
Here we are, a week past the end of November, and I’ve yet to have made any real mention of just how the whole NaNoWriMo experience went down. Now, granted, this might be because I spent 90% of November detailing, almost painfully at times, what I was doing with regards to Blueberries. Still, I think it’s important to have come to some conclusions and discovering exactly what I really actually did and what I learned as a result of those mistakes.

To confess a secret, I’ve only put down about 8000 words since the end of November. But, I’ve progressed enough in that time that the last 16 outline points could still keep me on target for my initial estimate of about 120K. More than that, though, I’ve cleared the big physical action-movie climax of the story, and can now focus on the final emotional climaxes and the ending. I’m going to have to take another couple of days as a writing rush to ensure that it gets finished before the end of the year, but it’s a priority. So, that’s probably going to be Sunday; we’ll see. Catch you folks tomorrow, likely with Bailout.
