So, another NaNoWriMo has come and gone. Win number three, with plenty of days to spare.
After the plot difficulties and working to find the answers that I mentioned in the previous post, things came together. I fought my way through to a reasonable plot. Then, once I came to the point where I had “all the holes plugged” in my middle so that the ending would work, I tried to get to the ending too fast. After some time struggling with this I realized that I needed to take some time and to fill things out. After that point things progressed pretty smoothly.
