Back to work

Tonight, I wrote 500 words of The great unnamed Story I Have Been Working On Since June. This is the first thing I've written since Nano, due to all sorts of reasons. It was scheduled - I'd set the date of the 3rd of January as the date I'd start again, and just forced myself to sit down and write.

500 words isn't very much, and they weren't very good, but it is a start. And i'm amazed at the quality of what I wrote back in September-October. It is outstanding, even if I do say so myself.

Of course, at the time I thought it was rubbish, just like I think what I wrote tonight was rubbish. But that isn't important. I can see the end of this story. It makes sense. It works. I'm really quite excited.
