The end is in sight! Well, actually, I already know and wrote the ending to my novel a few weeks ago. That's a very different experience than I had last year, when I never actually got to the end, so I've been filling in large swaths of the middle for a couple weeks now. I'm also ahead on my word count, which is probably the first time in my entire life I've not procrastinated on a writing assignment. (Yes, mom, it's really true. You finally are witnessing your eldest child in a 100% prepared state.)
All of this feels weird, but good. I'm used to being very linear and not knowing the ending until the end, but what I've been writing has been interesting, and the gaps in plot slowly fill in -- often in ways just as surprising as if I'd been writing toward an unknown ending.
HUGE props to Moxie Sis, who became a NaNoWriMo winner yesterday with 50,002 words. I'm so proud of her!
I should cross the finish line tomorrow. You still have time, if you're behind!
