And done nano #1!
I'd hoped for more words, but (almost) 63K is where the plot came to, and the last 10K took 3 days to write, ending when I realized the plot *was* coming to a halt and I was just trying to avoid it -- there is a difference between writing an ending to fast and not reaching it at all.
Unlike the first, the sequel actually has a title, though the plot is far more bare bones. I know it's a thriller rather than a mystery and won't be as funny at all. Mistakes will come back and haunt people and all the bast of the characters (mostly subtext in the first book) will be explored a little more in depth.
My MC will NOT be as shy, damn it!

He was unshy.
For the entire 1,000 words I wrote. And then I realized I actually didn't want to write that, but do something else instead.
So now I am plotting out the 'something else'. So far it's nicely migraine-inducing.
