I'm Sick of NaNo

There.

I said it.

I can't believe that about this time last year, I had written almost 64,000 words. And while I am very grateful for my current 45K and change, it just feels like this stupid story is never going to end. I swear, these last 4,437 words are gonna kill me! :)

In good news, two of the four plots have wrapped themselves up. Which just leaves two more to go, and I think I can see a way to intertwine them and wrap them up together. Hopefully.

One of those plots is Joe and his obsession with his wife's death. Last night she told me she was murdered, so at about 40K, I opened up a whole new can of worms! But, thanks to Leigh's suggestion, Gabi can help Joe resolve this - she just doesn't realize it yet. Turns out she knew Joe's wife. That came out in yesterday's writing session, too! :)

So, with any luck, Matt can take a turn at driving tomorrow and I can finish this puppy off. I did write 4,178 words today and my record this year is 4,969 in one day, so it is doable. If not, maybe I can finish it off Thanksgiving morning before the festivities begin. That way I can get verified as soon as it opens at the NaNo site and BE DONE WITH THIS!!!! ;)

At any rate, I don't know if I am going to write anymore tonight or not. AS I said, I am pretty sick of this novel at this point! Plus, I need to pack to go to Michigan!
