[NaNoWriMo] A Fifth of Critical Words

Up to 8,633 words!  It was tough getting to the keyboard tonight, still tired, but at least I got it done before Midnight!

I also now realize what my plan is.  Granted this is the sort of thing that is supposed to happen first but, as my inner critic was so kind to point out, it is crappy prose.  THat being said at the end of the month I will have all, or at least most of the most scenes blocked.  I'll know who's there, what they have to do, and how they go about doing it.  I'll know if it needs more darkness or more light, more dialogue or less; greater exposition or more action.

Which means that, the second draft will be pretty fine indeed by the time its done, the third will be necessary for polish, and likely the fourth, but after that...  Well after that, Hell, "It. Could. WORK!"
