NaNo: Day 04

Watch my word count plummet in the coming weekend! My mom leaves on Sunday morning, so tomorrow I'm spending all the time with her. There might be some writing, and I hope to at least hit a daily, but I'm not going to be squishing words out of my soul like butter out of peanuts.

Today was haaaaaaard. D: I succeeded only with the gracious help of deviouslint and valtyr, who let me babble pathetically at them for a while. It was a near thing, too. I rushed the last thousand words to get it done before leaving work, and just now went back and fleshed it out a bit. I've made a note to myself on changes to make in earlier chapters too, but I'll handle that in the edit. Moving, moving, moving, keep those fingers moving!

So, the totals! Today, I reached a grand total of 20,904, so I ended up writing 5,693 words. That's another three dailies! At this rate, the fic will be finished somewhere on the 12th at latest, with edits. Then I'll ship it off for beta while I kick into gear on the Monster Fairy Tale and cruise that until the end of November or the end of the fic, whichever comes first. Finally, I wrap the month up by editing last year's NaNo (holyshitfuck) for a break, squishing out my Fic Exchange, and then finishing up the Monster in time for New Year's. Going to be a busy December.

Rambling done, onward with the excerpts. :D
