NaShoStoWriMo pt 3

So... this is it. You have just a few hours left. How's it coming? Have you met your goals? Well.. I'm going to confide in you. I'm not done, either.

I'm really close! I swear I can be done before midnight. In Hawaii. But I had to work a real job today, so I lost today. Plus, I forgot that November only has 30 days. So... I might have given up yesterday before I should have. Either way, it matters little. I've made some good progress with editing and I'm practically done with the short story.

I think this whole NaNoWriMo is a great thing and it was fun to quasi-participate in it. It forced me to get some extra writing done on the side, which I think was good for me. This was my first time doing it, so I suppose it'll be a nice little bar to set for next year. Forty or so pages on a short story and several chapters knocked off my editing should equal... I don't know... a novella? A short novel? Either way, it's a good target to aim for when NaNoWriMo comes around again.

With that out of the way, there's just one thing left on the horizon for 2017. Yes, that beautiful time of year, when mankind feels just a little bit better, when we're all lifted up and want to treat one another with kindness we tend to forget the rest of the time. When we gather with those we love and even with strangers to celebrate that glorious and rich annual tradition: Star Wars. I'll see you guys at the movies!
