Belated NaNoWriMo Wrap-Up

NaNoWriMo Update: 50,000 . . . and Beyond!
I‘m still on a roll! And I even got sick in between. I missed two days of writing due to flu-like crud that I always seem to get in November, but once I recovered, I was back at it. My …

So, the moment I finished my 8k on NaNoThon day, I fell into bed, feeling like utter crap. It just got worse for the next five days or so, and then I very slooooowwwwly started to get better. After a …
