And...whew!

Well, it was a NaNoWriMo of ups and downs, first time I've ever had to switch projects, first time without my little doggie companion keeping me company, first time I wrote large portions of the novel (most of it, really) on a laptop (and as a corollary to that, probably the most typo-correcting ever). But I swept past the 50k mark tonight as my kids cheered me on. That was pretty cool, as writing is generally such a solitary pursuit.

My daughter still has a few words to go tomorrow, so I'll return the favor then.

I'm not quite ready to type "The End" yet, so I plan to keep going for a few more days.
