marfiskWell, thanks for playing folks. Ride's over. Exit is to your right (and yes, I wrote "write" first).
This has been a wild and crazy run. I had this idea mid September, I managed to forget it existed, and still the novel has gone from conception as a synopsis to outlined to written in just about 2 months time. Do I think it's the best thing I've ever written? Well, who knows, but it's certainly a fun tale. I guess I don't have to worry about percolation time. I thought Selkie was a fluke simply because the song has been part of my life since I learned it out of my Judy Collins song book when I was in my early teens. But a Pretty Bauble throws that out the window. It also tells me that the ton of old ideas waiting for me to come up with time to bring them to life may just have to wait. The ones that screamed to be done are largely finished and I'm getting new ones that apparently don't need to sit around for 2+ years before they're ready to cover the page.
The novel I'm thinking of starting to finish out NaNo (so I can keep my 2nd to 3rd page ranking ;)) is one that came to me a long time ago. A romance novel that was supposed to be my NaNo anyway so it's appropriate to tack it on the end. I'm sure I won't finish it, but I'll have a nice jump for next year.
And stats:
61 scenes
61 complete - 100% of the novel
0 Scenes remain
0 Remaining word count
75592 Estimated length - with an average of 1239 words per scene.
