In any case, the problem is this: Yesterday, I got edits back on my secret baby cowboy story, "A Change of Heart" and I really want to get cracking. I also have some other projects that need working on, and this NaNo fantasy story was only ever meant to be 20,000 - 30,000 words, which I'll hit easily before the end of November. So... I may not officially "win" NaNo for the first time since I've done this crazy thing, but I will get a complete story out of it.
Simple fact is this: I can't quit working on the contracted stuff in order to achieve 50,000 words, no matter how much I'd like to.
Still... I haven't given up hope yet. Some days, the words just flow like crazy. If I have enough 3,000 word days, I'll hit the goal I want.
And, now... off to editing this book:

Good luck! I started a cowboy story for the last Round Robin I participated in in my last crit group. I was thinking of pulling it out and working it into something. Maybe nothing more than another Round Robin for my current crit group, but it's got a soft spot in my heart, too. We'll see.
Hey! It's a joy to be "stuck" working on contracted stuff. ;-)
