NaNo Results
Okay, just done my first NaNo, and feels good to go get a lot of writing down, even if I did fall a little short of the 50,000 word target. Well... maybe a lot short. Definity short. I wrote 17,419 words of my novella Amanidas, increasing the total wordcount to 29,866. And you know what? …
