November 28, 2006 at 8:30 PM. It's Over! Take that, you crazy 67k piece of unending drivel!
Okay, so this year, I'm feeling a bit more relief than usual. This story has been hard. For some reason, it's been a pain trying to pry it out of my head and putting it into words. There have been points where I could have seriously been driven to drink, just like my main character.
Anyways, if you feel like reading a first draft about a burned out actress in late 18th century France trying to solve the magical murders of a bunch of astronomers, go to this page. You can read it in either installments or you can download the entire thing.
I've never thought that Nano was ever easy--it is a challenge after all. But I think it was especially hard this year because of the story itself: I was trying to juggle a murder mystery with a kazillion other subplots/subthemes.
I'm not forcing anyone to read my stuff, but if you want to, go ahead! If anyone has comments, I'd definitely be interested in hearing them even if it's to criticize how historically inaccurate I am (I did all my last minute French Revolution prep on Wikipedia).
