Still writing...

Like I said, my goat will not be got.

So, nearly 1000 new words added. Achieved mainly by filling a few holes left earlier. Still, a word is a word...

Moving the story forward is the next challenge. I have a Welsh separatist movement waiting in the wings.

Funny thing: Shortly after writing my previous post, I checked my email and found the NaNoWriMo Week Three pep talk - this time by Neil Gaiman. I have greatly enjoyed several of his novels and actually have two-and-a-half of them on my shelves ('American Gods', 'Neverwhere' and 'Good Omens', which he co-authored with Terry Pratchett - hence the half), and another one or two on my personal wish list. And funnily enough, it would seem that he - a man whose work I greatly admire and whose imaginative powers make me absolutely green with envy - experiences much the same when he's working on a novel - after a flying start and before the final downhill roll towards the coveted words 'The End', he too hits that dreary, rocky, wading-through-molasses stage that I find myself at right now.

Given that misery loves company, I must say that cheered me up a great deal.
