Okay, I read the last couple chapters in Chris Baty's book, No Plot, No Problem, about the third and fourth weeks of Nano. I hadn't read the part about making your book finish by the end of Nano even if you have to sketch scenes. I think that's what I was doing in the initial prep and writing of the book.
Though I like the idea of having THE End on it at the end of Nano, I don't think it's practical. If I sketch a scene and move on, I won't see the magic happen as C.L. Wilson calls it and the way it worked out for me on Thursday when I just hung in there and worked my way through a scene and wound up with some wonderful new creatures I hadn't even conceived of in the development and advance worldbuilding process.
So I'll just wait and see where I end up at the end of the week. I WILL get 50K though, regardless of Thanksgiving, relatives coming in for the weekend, work Friday and Saturday, and the time-consuming but rewarding blog on music for writers on Tuesday. I Hope...
Whew, I guess I better stop listening to music and get busy.
It's raining here, the dog is doing the only other thing that rainy days are good for besides writing and that other thing.
Have a sweet Saturday.
Nano, Nano

We're all a wee bit naive over here in Scotland, so you'll have to explain what "that other thing" you might do on rainy days.
Do I have to explain this to you? Naive Scot, my arse, as you Scots say.
LOL
