The April version of the November write-a-thon is upon us, well, me actually.  I’m not sure hope many others are trying to resurrect an old piece of writing.

The truth is, I’ve been at this story off and on over the past three years, and every time I get a head of steam, something else comes along.

Now I’ve decided to use the April version of NANOWRIMO to get this thing finished, or at least in a first draft state.

The old way I used to write stories was to have a separate file for each chapter, and with some of the books, there are upwards of 100 separate files, and recently I have been combining these into single files.

So much easier to work with, create indexes, and create a synopsis of the story, as well as a character list.

Yes, some of my stories had the main protagonist change name halfway through, and yes, it’s embarrassing.

Today’s word count takes me to the end of Chapter 5 and adds another 4,552 words to the total.

Like falling off a ten-story building, so far, so good.
