NaNoWriMo: Woohoo!

I got there!  52,245! I was just going for 50,000, but it turns out that my word counting method was low.

Now, the novel isn't done. Not remotely. Not by any stretch of the imagination. But I wrote fifty (-two) thousand words. I'm pleased.

Now comes the post-fifty-thousand strategy, which is to write two hundred slower words of fiction every day until the end of November, and then a minimum of five days a week permanently. This time I want NaNoWriMo to be a jump-start for a permanent fiction writing habit, instead of a fun one-month stunt.

We'll see what really happens.
