Life's Funny That Way

Over the NaNo Hill!

Well, I'm on the downside of the NaNo hill now, with over 40,000 words.  This part is starting to be a great deal of fun for me.  It helps that I now know where the plot is going and exactly how it's going to get there.  Now it's just a sprint to the end.  I did have one element of my plot that was just not going to work out, which involved a car chase that I really liked.  I wanted to keep the car chase, so I had to make a few other arrangements to make it all plausible, but it was a fairly easy fix.  I believe I'll have the novel draft done within the week and then be back here for more short stories, contests, and other sorts of writing.  This was my first attempt at something of this length, and it has been a great experience for me, even if it never sees the light of day again.
