YES. Although NaNo claims that it's 50,088. But that's okay too! And I'm really excited to keep going. And then eventually edit it. And I'm thinking it will really be two separate books, like I thought originally-originally (as in early November 2005). I mean, apparently it's a misconception that fantasy novels should be like 150k. 100k is more normal, or even less. This one could be, I dunno, 70, 75k? I wonder what that compares to? We'll see. And that's after edits. There's a buttload of extra crap in there right now.

YAY! I still want to read this thing- I loved what you sent me a few months ago. Let me know when you want to send me more and I'll definitely read and give you feedback!

Aw thanks! I want to finish this part (or book as the case may be, like I said I'm not sure how I'll do it) and do some preliminary edits to cut unnecessary crap out, but then I'll be looking for readers.... ♥ I've got, I dunno, 20k left? 30? And I'm going to try to keep some fraction of the pace I had this month.

You're welcome! That works for me- maybe by the time you're done with the editing and such, I'll actually have something to give you to read and give me feedback on. Am crossing my fingers for it to be my newest idea, 'cause DAMN do I want to actually finish something and have something for someone else to read for once. XD

No kidding! I really want this one to be the one I finish. Rawr. Good luck--I know you can do it! (Don't take four years like I have, mmkay?)

Haha, thanks. And I will definitely try not to! I just need to get myself going and not let my inner editor start doing things to make me stop and try to world build instead or something.
