I wish I could do this every month, seriously. I wrote just over 50K on my NaNo project, which was the third book in my Sentinel series, while working on the (almost done) second book around the edges and adding about 10K words to that.<br /><br />I'm hoping to finish Book 2 this month and submit it, then finish up book three within the first couple/few months of '12 [crosses fingers] and have two novels out next year. That'd be awesome.
