Well, I wrote about 2.5k words this weekend to finish off the not-so-alternate-history story that has been plaguing me for several weeks now. I’m thrilled to have it hammered out–it kept trying to turn into a novel, but I showed it who was boss. Now all I have to do is tidy it up a bit and then I can start collecting crits on it!
Congratulations!
Can’t wait to read it.
(Anyway, if those characters and that setting really want to put on a novel, you can always relent and let them do it in January. You can afford to be firm but gentle and even indulgent with them now that they know who’s boss.)
I was actually toying with the idea of recycling this one into JanNoWriMo…
But in the meantime, I’m halfway done with revisions to the short-story version, so either tomorrow or Wednesday your wait will be over :)
