Nanowrimo Day 30

DONE.

Well, okay, not really. I still have roughly a chapter and a half left to write on this project, but I crossed the finish line with precisely 50,000 words (I validated at 49,987 and wrote 13 words to get myself across), so I have the purple bar and can now say I’ve won all but one Nanowrimo done. Lost myself writing a rather lengthy and complicated fight scene. I complain about them, but when the muse is working with me, they’re the easiest things in the world to write for some reason.

Of course, then I reread them and panic, but hey, you can’t have everything.

But I have won, and I am pleased, and now I am going to read Cold Days and drink celebratory shots with etoiline because we survived a month of sickness, health, stress, and writing, and it’s OVER.

Yay! I just got across the finish line myself about 6 hours ago. Thrilled to be joining all the nifty people I've met in getting that mark done. I still have more writing since the story I initially started writing is nothing like the story I ended up writing as it just kinda flourished and grew into something a little more interesting.
Enjoy Harry's jaunt to Arctis Tor and the dealings with Mab. It's a great read. I'm considering re-reading it again over the weekend for kicks. (I confess, when new Jim Butcher books show up, I have a tendency to drop EVERYTHING else and read them 'til I'm through.) I'd love to know what your thoughts on it were/are as you make your way through Butcher's Chicago.
Thanks for the communication through NANO. I'm thrilled I got as far as I did, and I'm looking forward to doing more, but I hope to start working on a new project or two in the meantime.
Looking forward to reading your newest tales whenever they appear. And thanks again for the open invite for NANO. Looking forward to next year. :)
