NaNo Update

I just finished the first draft of my NaNo story. 55.037 words, precisely. It's really unbelievable how long it took me to write the last 5000 words (more than a month), and how hard it was compared to the rest. Writing just isn't that easy when you don't have a deadline to work with.

Anyway, this is just the first part of the story. I have vague ideas for the second one (who knows, next NaNo, maybe), and it has potential for some more. But first I have to plot. And there's some world-building that needs to be done. And the second draft. So considering how long it took me to write and post the last long story... I might have finished by 2015. But just maybe. After all, there's still real life and other stories.

Congratulations to finishing the draft! You have my earned my deepest respect for that achievement, because I know how hard it is to get there.
The rest will work out, too.

Well, knowing me, it will work out. The question is when.
