No, I haven't gotten my math wrong - the 7,000 words I've gotten "out of the way" were for the 3rd Philippine Graphic/Fiction Awards. Ah, word limits... There's nothing quite like the feeling one gets when one is able to find those three sacrificial words that allow you to slip in just beneath the maximum word count allowed.
Still want to do a wee litle outline before starting on the actual text of the novel. I know that part of the joy of NaNoWriMo is the "No Plot, No Problem" mentality - but that'd be, for me, like going out on a boat without a life jacket; sure I can swim if push comes to shove, but I'd like to have a fallback in case I cramp up.
