Nice to meet another WINNER! YEAH! I finished with 50,386 and counting. Not stopping while I have the momentum, though I am going to take a nice long nap to give my hands a bit of a rest.

That’s amazing that you managed to finish a project just past the halfway mark of NaNo. How is your hands and any updates like character growth or conflicts within your novel as the event draws to a close?

I’m in editing mode at the moment. I’ve added another 20k to the manuscript, and I think I’ve deleted as much in edits. That’s how it goes. Nano is great for laying the basic groundwork before the real work begins. I tend to keep exact facts of the story pretty close, but I can say that in the end, my main character does indeed prove the honorable traits of hero.

I do hope that you are keeping the pre-edited drafts. I heard that’s best to refer to your old writing if you happen to forget a detail you accidentally included in the most current edit because I have that habit to delete everything wrong. I wonder if your process is similar to mine and I’m glad that your main character has heroic qualities and is actually demonstrating them.
