NaNoWriMo update

I hit a writing spurt late Saturday/Sunday and broke through something. It's coming a little easier now, even if I do end up with huge gaps in the narrative I know I'll have to fill in later. I view this less as a "first draft" of the novel and more as a really, really extensive outline, since I know the vast majority of it will be rewritten and reworked, if I still like it at the end of this.

I managed to pass 20,000 words today, so nearly to the halfway point, in terms of the required number of words. I still worry that I'll be able to sustain the plot as I go, but each time I worry that I'm about to run out of steam, I find something else that I really hadn't expected, but really like.
