riding the kick out

*gasps for air*
Son. Of. A. Bitch.
Seriously. That may have been the hardest NaNoWriMo ever for me. I clocked in early this morning with 50,166 words verified. I'm still 35K short of an actual novel, but it's a start.
Now I push the thing away for six weeks and do anything but write. The post novel ennui has landed on me like a sack of hammers, but I'm okay with that. I feel like I was in a fight, but that's appropriate, considering this is Alice we're talking about. She didn't give up her secrets easy and she won't give me the other 35K any easier, I just know it.
But if all goes well, I'm hoping to be done by next Rabbit Hole Day, at which point I will post the new version of the first chapter of the novel of Alice Assassin, which is still titled Holes.
Like I said, it's not the novel I thought I'd be writing.
*shrug*
I like it better than the one I thought I was going to write.
And on that note, I'm going to stare dumbly at my computer. What are all of you up to? Tomorrow, I'll post my Yule list.
