Nanowrimo Morte on Day One

Alas, the month is drawing to a close and all those nanowrimers out there are thumbing out close to 50k words. Many will work toward completion even today, thankful no doubt, to be near completion.

With only one day's attempt and its consequent 1,300 words, I quit. My ideas wasn't/isn't clear, the plot I thought might work, won't; I had too much left in the editing process for The Marker.

So, now I have to recede my bragging rights from four completed novels in five years, to four completed novels in six years. There is a smudgeon of guilt, another smudgeon of kick-the-dirt-dog-gone-it, and an even smaller smudgeon of just plain old "shucks," but not enough of any of those to care a whole lot. Maybe next year.
