I finished NaNoWriMo today with my biggest thirty-day word count ever: 120,000 words. The novel still has some holes in it and it needs plenty of massaging and patching to make all the pieces fit, but for a first draft, it’s in pretty good shape. As I suspected coming in, already having a world created and characters I know and like made this quick and fun. I am sorely tempted to leave it as it is for a few weeks and start on the next one (book four in my time travel series), then come back to this one and see how the whole arc is progressing.
