I am about halfway through (I stayed up until 5 a.m. reading, which I am regretting now) and OMG MOLLY. AND HIS REUNION WITH THOMAS. I kept getting online to random shout things in excitement at a friend of mine. I already love this book so much better than Ghost Story or Changes. I love that Harry's the last person you want handed big gobs of responsibility and yet they make him do all the crazy things.
But that aside, I'm really glad you joined me for Nano. It tends to frighten people off and then they try it and are surprised by the fact that they can write the 50k and there's no much more mystical to it than planting your butt in the chair and typing away until the page is full of words. As a culture, we tend to romanticize the writing process, which is why I think 90% of people that tell me they're going to write a novel never do. It's really neat that your novel was able to flourish, too! So many things always surprised me when I was writing Fates. I had no idea that the story would be anything like it ended up being, but it's so much fun to get along on that process.
Congratulations on finishing!!! Are you basking in golden light and drinking champagne?
