There are actually still more than seven and a half hours left to NaNoWriMo 2007 here in the Netherlands, but I’ve decided that I’m done. 65056, my current score, will be my official total for the year. I had been thinking of sprinting for 75k today, but I’ve decided not to.

There are two reasons for this. First of all 65056 happened spontaneously, and it’s a nice looking number to finish on. And secondly, I had meant to do something for Knights Of The NaNo Table this year, and I haven’t yet. So I’ll try to do at least a few thousand words for that tonight.

Switching over to Knights also gives me some pure fun writing. While I don’t currently have to wrestle too hard with my NaNo, at 65k words in it is turning into something of a chore to keep all the plotlines straight.

In fact, though I don’t like to edit during a first draft, I should probably go back and read most of it before I start writing again. And at 65k words, that would probably take a couple of hours of my time.  And with a lot to do, and the TGIO taking up a lot of time tomorrow (though well worth it) there are better ways for me to spend my time tonight.
