Update 11/23/2009 – The odds are stacked against me, I know, but I wanted to let everyone know that, if for some reason I do not make it to 50K words by Sunday, November 30th, I am going to continue with the novel, because I’m enjoying it quite a bit. Besides, who writes a novel to 50K words, doesn’t feel like it’s finished, and gives up?

Actually, I am planning (if I don’t make it) to do my own personal version of the NaNoWriMo and see if I can get to 50K words by December 15th.

If I make that and I still don’t think it’s finished, I am going to continue on even past that. Those who know me know I ramble when I talk, and I write a lot when I write, so to have an entire novel encompassed in 50K words is ridiculous to me. I’ve tried my hand at short stories, and I still will, but I can never encapsulate a story into 3K words easily.

So there you have it. Onward and onward.
