Burn Before Reading
My NaNoWriMo magnum opus is done. Thank god. Well, the story is not done, but I’ve reached 50,892 words and I’m stopping. I call it Burn Before Reading. That’s not it’s real title – working name is Flood System, actually. It’s more a statement of its dubious quality.
First sentence:
Paul Fernandez held his breath and signed the papers, once, twice, a dozen times.
Last sentence:
Somewhere, perhaps, he heard her. She sat in silence with his body, but there was no longer anyone there.
I feel a tremendous sense of relief; this was a really tough slog this year. I’m looking forward to really relaxing, reading, playing and enjoying the holidays with friends and family.

Hey, you did 50,000+ words. That’s quite an accomplishment in my book. Congrats!
