Nano postmortem
Final wordcount: 18,805 (according to RoughDraft; official Nano count would have been a little lower).
Obviously nowhere near 50k, not quite even 20k, but as I mentioned, I got one story finished (and it was a milestone in its way) and another story drafted, so I'm happy about that. I also got much farther than I have on previous Nano attempts that flamed out --- and more importantly, I also feel much more able to continue working than I did after said flameouts.
So I've set the "Nano2011" file to "read only" for the ages, C&Ped bits of it into the appropriate files to continue those projects, and I set out into the future.
