Long live draft 2.
Draft 1 was 52,731 words. I learned a lot of stuff, like how to keep writing even when you don't want to. I finally broke through a mental barrier that always had me bogging down. Now I also have a copy of Write or Die to keep pushing me to get word count out...
So now I'm working on the revision. Since I have the plot done already, now I can take my time to make it say stuff the way it ought to. My internal editor is purring. Pink, on the other hand, shrugs, and says, "It's a job."

I think nano is a great writing experience just because you learn to crunch out the text. I heard recently how all creative efforts are 5% inspiration and 95% hard work. (This from my Folklore studies professor.) It is so true with writing.
