Remember that NaNoWriMo entry from 2008 I told you about? The mock novelization of the mock screenplay from this mock B-movie?

I just typed THE END on it.

Christ I'm relieved.

And at 413 pages of A4 and just shy of 200,000 words, it’s a doorstop in NaNoWriMo dimensions. It’s certainly longer than I had in mind, and longer than the basic idea warrants. Probably all the gratuitous sex scenes. We’ll see how much of that survives the editing process when I do the second draft.

On the bright side, I’m rather pleased I was able to knock out 200,000 words worth of novel in about 10.5 months – especially when my first NNWM project, Planet Of The Bulls (2005), still isn’t finished. And this is only my second novel manuscript in four years (the first being Becky Horror Picture Show, which remains unpublished for a number of reasons). So I’m not exactly prolific, but neither was Raymond Chandler. So I can live with that.

Okay. On to the editing/revisions stage, after which I may require a volunteer or two (or 20) to actually suffer through the goddamn thing to see if it makes even the slightest bit of sense to anyone but me.

But first, the whores!

I don’t know what to do with myself,
