(Community Matters) Well, rats . . . sorta. I didn’t hit my 50,000 but I did learn quite a bit about novel writing.
After about 6,000 words, I decided I didn’t like the novel I’d always wanted to write. It was historical fiction (my favorite) but its time had passed.

Wrote nearly 6,000 words on it, must have reflected on 1,000,000 in my head. For Nanowrimo purposes, I accomplished 11,981 of the 50,000.
Now, if I include my Austin American Stateman guest editorial (568) and my Nov blog postings (10,685 words prior to this posting) . . . .
