So my "author bio" says that I'm "armed with about 20,000 words." This was the case until I divided everything into separate books (it's still up for debate as to whether it'll be three or four... if it's three, then Book Two will be insane). Now everything together is over 35k.

But when I look at Book One alone, I'm officially over the NaNoWriMo halfway mark!

Only like, 200 words over the halfway mark, and that's just the 50k NaNoWriMo goal, not a completed novel, but HEY! I'm happy about it.

Now that I've got the really big events written, I'm going through and writing the in-between-scenes that make it a cohesive plot. This is surprisingly more exciting than I thought it was going to be. I was dreading having to go back through and puzzle out how A was going to get herself from this point to that point, but it's actually interesting and I'm enjoying getting to know her even better.

** Side note. I put the Alexander Skarsgård gif in this post while writing it, and I just stared blankly as he bowed over and over for like 3 minutes… Oops.

Anyway, now that the plot sequence is coming together, and my editor-self is happy that we've got an opening chapter, that dumb part of me is beginning to panic about a title. Even though I keep telling her that we have months of work ahead of us before we desperately need to have one, she is an awfully stubborn self. Sigh.
