NANOWRIMO 2010

This is my second year as a serious contender in NANOWRIMO (National Novel Writing Month), and so far things have been going pretty well. I've managed to stay ahead of the basic word count, and the tale I'm spinning, in many ways decades in the making, is sailing along and surprising me more than a little. I had no idea these characters were going to light up like this and that I could keep from bogging down in details, which is all too often what derails my authorial efforts.
