Term Paper: 4,728 words.
Fic: 318 words.
Bad things:
Term paper was supposed to be 20 - 30 pages, with a small amount of flexibility. Ended up with 19 pages.
Fic count is extremely sad.
Good things:
Term paper is done, and submitted. Covered the topic extremely well, and was very well researched. Reference list was diverse and complete. So, while it may be a little short, it was some of my better work...and a damn sight better than what I did last term.
Fic word count is low, but I'm finally connecting with my lead character. I may not get a novel out of my casual participation with NaNo, but I will at least get some time "in the sandbox," which will help me flesh things out a bit more as I go. Some of the scenes and interactions I'm writing and outlining will have to be filed away, as they'd be too much overload this time around. I'm loving the complicated relationship my lead has with her father; the relationship with her partner is somewhat undefined as yet. I'm hoping that playing around some more will help me pinpoint that. Now if only the muses could decide between first person and third person POV...
