Hmm, well, it was (un)surprisingly a bit difficult to hit the daily goal while on vacation. (But the vacation was awesome!) ((Shoutout to the Pages app on my phone for getting me at least some words every day!))

Word count as of last night: 8000

Yesterday's on-track word count: 10,000

That's -- close? Ish? My goal is to be back on track by 20,000. Probably manageable, although you know, it only really *needs* to be on track by 50,000, so there is that.

I’m actually a little surprised that this fic took me two months to finish. I’d somehow jumbled up the time in my head to think it was all done in October.

But it’s finished now, so we’ll call it a win. This is the second chapter of Criminal Mastermind (cleverly titled ‘Criminal Mastermind part 2′) and it covers the second season of my AU version of Iron Man Armored Adventures.

Criminal Mastermind (part 2)

(or on AO3 — link goes directly to the new chapter)

I think this quote really sums up the story:
“Even if you decide to become a megalomaniacal power-hungry supervillain, we’ll still be here for you.”

5 RANDOM THOUGHTS ABOUT NANOWRIMO 2012 SO FAR

1. I have reached that part of the story where I try to start wrapping things up, and then I can’t remember who said what when, or if I’ve already explained something earlier in the story.

2. Chris Baty’s pep talk was fantastic, as usual. The rest of nano’s messages were somewhat pep-less, also as usual. (For some reason, I don’t find being told ‘your novel is probably crap’ and ‘no one’s going to care if you don’t finish’ particularly inspirational.)

3. Thank you, Write or Die, especially for today. Your totally random and self-inflicted timers and color-changing screens really work for me, and I have no idea why.

4. I’m worried that I don’t have 5000 more words left in me.

5. During one of my writing breaks today, my cat threw up on my shoes. Thanks for that, cat. Way to bring some perspective to my day.

Okay, wow, what just happened to this evening? I had plans!

I am now officially declaring this computer to be a tumblr-free zone until my current fic is DONE and POSTED.

(We’ll see how long this lasts.)

It did sound like something that had to be seen to be believed. It also didn’t sound like the safest environment to ask Jesse to just pop them into, especially if they were going mainly for the entertainment value. “Did it look like they needed help?” Rachel asked. She sounded like she hoped the answer was yes. That, at least, would be a good excuse for showing up uninvited.
