That's right. If you've been checking on my home page, you'll see that I've once again far exceeded the 50K word count goal for "National Novel Writing Month." I finished the rough draft of the third book in the reality series, clocking in at just under 67K. I plan on adding a piece I did earlier to it of about 3.5K, so the total word count of the pre-edited novel will be just over 70K. Not too shabby.
To add more word count in the last days, I'm exploring a spin off, not a sequel, from these books related to a new character that appears in this book. Not sure yet where it will go, but I'm exploring by just writing about him, see where it leads.
As usual, NaNo was a lot of fun, and so far the only way I get a novel written is to do it all in one month. I have four of them now. One will soon be coming out in print, I'm looking for a publisher with one, this one that needs a lot of editing, and my first novel which needs mucho editing, but I believe the concept is sound and worth doing, so at some point I've got to sit down and work on that one. I'm seriously thinking I just need to start from scratch and rewrite it, perhaps a good project for a future NaNo.
