past the day's target, got a little bit of steam building into tomorrow. I might not even reach the emotional climax of the story by the time December rolls around, but I'm gonna keep going at NaNo speed until the whole thing is done. At this point, I'm just skipping over big parts of the story to get further along in the narrative -- cuz I'm pretty sure someone's gonna surprise me at the end and change where things wind up. It's already had one major departure, and another guy is looking pretty antsy, like he's got his own plans. We'll see. Finish line is coming up, folks. Get that last push you need, get it done. Let's see some champions!
