NaNoWriMo

34 days ago, I accepted the http://www.nanowrimo.org challenge.  I set out to write 50,000 words in 30 days.  I crossed the 50K mark in 25 days.  As I wrote the story poured from my fingers.  I had been thinking about it for awhile and many things that I shit out onto the page on a whim came back to actually mean something later.  The more I wrote, the more the story felt like two different tales.  Instead of publishing one 50K book, I finished the challenge with one Novellete and a 21K start on book two.
Since then I've been rewriting and tossing the work out to beta readers.  I must say editing is a lot less fun than writing.

Now, I'm waiting on the notes from the beta readers.  The waiting is the hardest part.
