I hit 50,000 words tonight, but estimate I'm maybe 20% done. That means it's basically going to be a piece of overwritten garbage, but that's OK. As they say, you can't edit a blank page!
The hard thing now will be to keep going without the support of NaNoWriMo - just my own inner nagging. So far that hasn't been enough. External deadlines work much better for me than the self-imposed variety. And sticks work better than carrots. If anyone has any sticks they'd like to subject me to (e.g. write 10,000 words by next Tuesday or I sign you up for ten magazines), let me know.
Gracias to my supporters! And go Asheville!
