WIIIIIIIIN!

51k! Woooo! I'd just barely crossed 50k, and decided to just keep plugging along for a bit, since I had a few more thoughts and know that NaNo's counters shave a few hundred words off of what OpenOffice counts. And then I didn't check my wordcount until I hit 51000-something lol. (Yesterday, I was interrupted by watching Rudolph on tv and drinking amazing hot chocolate with the MiL+husband. So I only wrote like a paragraph, which is included in today's post.)

I actually had no idea where the scene was going when I started tonight, but I set in earlier than usual, and just started wandering around. Then decided she should get her wish and see some more of Meres and Celestine...only then the rain attacked her and Jacob pounced like a spazz. Apparently, I am very attached to writing spazzy children. They're too fun. <3

...this whole month, really, has just flown by. I feel like I only just started working on the novel this year. I also don't feel like I accomplished much by way of the storyline, but.. well, hell, I didn't have names for several of the characters before, and there's an illegitimate child to clear up, and all sorts of other goodies. And now there's Jacob! And clematis flowers (which mean "artifice").

And I did manage to cross most of the things off the "to-do" list I kept making longer all month. :3 But enough unanswered questions to haul me back into that world again. At some point. Like January. Or November. We'll see. ;)
