Well, then. I had planned to blog the entire way through NaNoWriMo, but it turned out I simply didn't have enough time to write and blog both. I finished this afternoon, though, after sitting down with Write or Die for an hour and pounding out 4031 words. Before heading off to work with three-year-olds. Needless to say, I'm bushed.
It's a relief to be finished with this project (even though the ending wrapped up a little more neatly than I had originally planned) because having a workable draft of something is always good. I'm really pleased with the potential that it has-- I would never submit this anywhere without extensive edits, but it's certainly a good start.
I'm also relieved to be finished because it means that I can start on my December project (or at least, I can when finals are over)-- editing and rewriting and hopefully coming up with a final, shoppable manuscript of Summer of Betrayal, the first in my Camlain series. And the sooner I can have a shoppable draft of that, the sooner I can see if people want it, and the sooner I can get started on Autumn of Discord, which I've been making notes on for quite some time now. My fingers are itching to get back to this universe. My characters are screaming at me to write about them, damn it.
I love that feeling.
More on Camlain later.
