Heh! Eat my shorts, wordcount target!
Aaah! Lovely! I've just passed 50k! Twelve days early! Woo! Last year I was only nine days early, and I still had 20,000+ words of the story still to do, at least. This time, I've made it with just a couple of thousand words of post-climax to write. I can do that tomorrow, in between tidying up, phoning home (letting them know my Christmas list - slippers), and watching Independance Day. And I've been interviewed for WriMoRadio (to be included - probably - in Ep4) about the method I used to write my novel. Have I mentioned this before? If I haven't, I shall tell you. I had the general plot and characters set out beforehand, but to determine what actually happens, I've used the GURPS system. So if the characters meet someone, I roll to see how they react; if the guards turn up, I roll to see how many guards; if they get into a fight, I roll each blow of the combat (and yes, I did let them get their butts kicked, plenty of times).
Anyway. 'tis all over now. Until next year. Maybe. At last, I can re-lax!
