Phew! At 11.59pm, I uploaded my file to NaNoWriMo - to confirm my wordcount using NaNoWriMo's and not just my local one. 20136 words. So I made it before midnight by the skin of my teeth.
It's been a great journey... and it's only just begun. My secondary goal was to finish a second chapter, and I'm very close to doing so. I'll do that first. Then I want to set a goal for December with our ongoing Pico/EvMoWriMo or whatever it'll be called. The rest of my novel still lies before me!
I can't tell you how grateful I am to all you guys for your encouragement. This Pico has been everything I hoped for. Lots to celebrate and, although it's a first draft, I don't think the prose has been utterly useless. In particular, a thank you to Altariel1, for the idea, and your example in offering gentle encouragement as we've suffered together the highs and lows of Pico.
Lytellia looked down and realised, not only her dress, but her hands were covered in flecks of blood. It felt primal, exciting. Then she shook her head, “I agree. These oafish men around us are hardly better than the barbarians themselves.” She looked around with a sneer.
