Seriously, I may put this up on the wall for next month.

So, I made the mistake of reading one of my old stories tonight…
…and now I’m asking myself, can I turn a fantasy Western about a revenant hunting down the man who killed him into an entire novel? …Which, when I put it that way, makes the answer sound fairly obvious. But will it be any good?
Maybe. Let me think about it. I’ll attach the story so people can give me their own opinions. I think it could sustain, although it’d be a somewhat terse novel.
ANALOG will likely be this year’s NaNoWriMo entry.
The problem I’ve been having with ANALOG is that the story’s big enough for a novel. So I’m going to turn it into one. I’m also putting up the first chapter of it for this month’s Patreon, and then I can start thinking about how I’ll expand all the hints that I was putting in it already.

I consider this a victory, given that I lost pretty much a week to Covid. Well, four or five days. If I had managed to still have those, I probably would have hit 60K. 50K is supposed to be the target number anyway.

Didn’t stay up to finish it last night, but I might tonight. Although ‘finished’ is a nebulous term. I have the framework of the book. It’ll do.

‘Temporary’ because I’m staying up to get it to 48K. Today was a very complicated day involving fixing a persistent problem with this website, but that’s no excuse not to finish. 50K awaits!

Covid probably will keep me from 60K, but I should still hit 50K. Which is technically the goal anyway. Welp, the point is to get the book down in some form.
