Still Writing

      Averaging about 260 words per day in Camp NaNo.  This is not a great pace, but the project I took on was a story that I'd roughly plotted, written the beginning and some of the middle, and had a pretty good idea about the ending.  The first draft was first person and I wasn't happy with it.  So I moved to close third person -- "looking over the protagonist's shoulder" -- and that's been better.

      But it was stalled.  I have been carrying around odds and ends of the manuscript for a couple of years.  Camp NaNo is a reason to do a more complete synopsis and outline, and start putting scenes on paper.

      Something over 12,000 words now, and plenty more to do.
