NaNoWriMo Update November 30, 2009

I told you all I was going for the 50,000 words over at NaNoWriMo and I’m sad to say I only made it to 17,000 words because I just couldn’t keep myself from going back and editing the words. The good news is that I developed more of my current manuscript and was able to [...]
