Overcast with sun all day; warm and breezy evening.

I finished the month of NaNoWriMo 2020 with a blur of blah. I completed the MG novel draft, adding more scenes, an index, historical notes afterward, at 43,000 words. Still needed 7K for an official win, so I started writing down thoughts about the next novel, a YA also on the 1856 smallpox epidemic. Those thoughts are a stream of consciousness mess. I will have to do some more serious thinking when my brain is coherent and not dead tired.

Although this counted as a "win" for #NaNoWriMo2020  and therefore I am #NaNoWinner2020 it didn't feel like a win. I have a lot to learn about writing MG novels. I'll sort some of that out in the editing process.

Congratulations to everyone participating in NaNoWriMo. Thank you to the event sponsors.
