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.

Part 3 is now finished and it is onto the laborious work of getting part 4 right.  There will be about ten chapters in this section, and then a short Part 5 which is yet to be written.

Today’s assignment is the fallout from the reading of the will.  There will be more until the various inheritors finally accept their shares, which inevitably they have to.

Never have so many waited so long and got so little.

Today is going to be one with a smiley face, for all the wrong reasons, I’m enjoying writing this bit too much, and then there will be a sad face, because there is so much more to do, and so little time.  This chapter was also fun to write.

Today’s word count adds another 3,167 words for a total of 75,185 so far.

We are going to exceed my original estimate of 75,000 words by at least another 5,000.
