My Cardboard Balcony

Fourth and final update ahoy! As of very early morning on November 30th, I have: - Written 50,240 words . This means that I have officially won National Novel Writing Month for the second time in my life. The first time was, all you all know, when I finished my novel, [Insert Self-Discovery Here]. - Still not come up with a title. What are the flippin' odds?! - Plans to continue writing this novel, which is not even close to being done. If anything, if we were compartmentalizing this story into three acts, I have only just begun Act Two. There's a lot of juicy stuff coming (Adventure! Battle! Romance!), and I'm definitely looking forward to finishing it. I'm also looking forward to slowing down a bit, finishing my final week of my school semester, and taking a steadier, less stressful pace with writing. I can assure all of you, though - I will finish this book. Thank you all for enduring NaNoWriMo. Storytellers will resume this upcoming Saturday, December 6th. ...

It was as if the waves along the coast where the musicians played became more and more agitated, growing in size and providing their own percussion to those symphonies roared out by horns, pipes, keys, and strings.
