NaNo Days 10 to 17: (way) more than halfway

 I'm still writing! That I'm not writing about the writing doesn't mean the writing itself is not taking place! If that makes any sense at all.
But yes; the NaNo writing is still happening. I just finished for today at 34,521 words, which is more than 6,000 words over the par of Day 17. My daily writing average is a little over 2,000 words, which is probably one of the highest I've had since I've done NaNoWriMo and had a job.

Daily word counts up to day 17.

Story wise, I've managed to get a better grip on my main character and while planning the next couple of chapters actually discovered a repetitive pattern that I hadn't planned on being there, but which now turns out to have quietly emerged. This is nice, because I have no idea what will happen in the latter half of the story; I have only the first six chapters planned out. Those will  probably get me to 50,000 words, but at that point the story isn't over yet. The real discovery will be what will happen after that; will I continue writing to finish it, or will I be content with my 50,000 words and leave the whole thing unfinished as it is? Only time will tell...
