On the other side of NaNoWriMo

I made it through NaNoWriMo successfully -- and got what I think will be a pretty god story out of it. Its working title is Piper's Private Writing School. Probably that will be its final title, too. As my two younger children were thinking of participating in it in the beginning, they are featured pretty much as-is as far as personality goes. That will need to change in the final. I may make them a little bit younger, and change their names. I have the story out to a few readers to critique, though it is in first-draft speed demon NaNoWriMo format. Two of them have read it all the way through and given me some good feedback.
 
I am back to working on Tempo, the 2010 Nanovel. I will need to do some trimming on it. I suspect I have a few soapboxes I need to get down from, trimming of extraneous crap, intensification of viscerality, consequences that need to occur, conflict that needs ratcheting. You know. The usual.
