Stalled at 12K

Well, I've come to a screeching halt on the novel writing. For the time being anyway. I happily accepted a position to teach English at Wilkes Community College mid-semester, so I'm having to play catch up. I love my classes, by the way. I have great students, which makes all the difference.

I'm not counting off nano just yet, though. I have 12,000 more words than what I started with, and for that I'm extremely pleased and inspired. There's a lot of rubbish in there, but still and all. There's probably no chance I'm going to make the 50K mark, at this point. Not by Nov. 30. But I plan to modify nano into a 3-month marathon. So hopefully by the end of January, I'll meet that goal. I'll keep you posted on my progress.
