NaNo Finish

I hit my target 50,000 words for NaNoWriMo in the middle of the week and just decided to keep on going. Result? at 11.54 p.m. Sunday with 6 minutes to go to the finishing time I clocked up 62,081 words on Spider on the Web.

I'm now on 71,027 words in total because I had the first two and a half chapters in the bag before I started.

This is definitely the beginning of the end that I'm writing now. Maybe another 20,000 words and it will be finished. It's unlike me to finish any novel in a mere 90,000 words, of course, but I live in hope.

Well done! 90,000 sounds like a good total for a first draft.

Now if my WIP would only stop trying to run itself off the rails, I might make some progress over the winter.
