Author bio:
My second Nano-November (2012) is over and now I am into February still writing, ALDEBARAN - Outward Bound.
Unlike my first year where I seemed to write myself into a corner at every turn and then write a turn and find another corner, the 2nd went much more smoothly. Experience from the previous year in what to expect and how to outline on the run off the top of my head paid dividends.
This last event I did not hit the magic 50,000 word mark, still, I have discovered a story that has me writing on in spite of. Currently the rough draft is at a solid 40k words and am still discovering new plot twists and character traits I did not know or expect.
My current goal is to have a complete first draft finished by Nano-November (2013)
