Last of the word count: WriteItNow reported to me that I had 80,129. I know I started with 25K from my CampNaNo experience in March. NaNoWriMo gives the goal of 50K. My goal then was 75K. I increased my yWriter by finding the missing chapters and scenes and my RTF in Word, where I found others missing from the other two programs. I think as I go through the edit and fixing yWriter7 problems, I will find the missing bits. Once I have everything moved from the unstable (for me) to Scrivener and a new Word file, I will feel this book complete. It is weird to think, ‘Did I write a scene with … or was it a dream?’ And then to find it again is like Christmas!
I will continue today’s writing as I have a scene that is dancing in my head. Then I will start that scene by scene editing and possible rewriting. I am not tired of this story or the characters. I hope someday others might like it. My first four chapters of the first book, Haven, can be found here. The whole book is here. I was a new writer, but the characters and the sentient planet have been my life for nearly two decades!

Hugs on the lost writings, but yay for finding them again. I see you decided to go with Scrivener after all. Hope you found a good for you template. And Yay for the win!
Thank you! I think I made a mistake with a character template. Was I supposed to copy it first? Is there a way to rescue said template?
Oh, you mean in the Scrivener file? I never much used the templates as they should be, but I think you can “add” a templated file rather than a blank one or something. I noticed that this time…then promptly forgot about it so I could use copy and paste. You have two options now:
1) Make a copy and delete your changes then put it back in the template folder, or
2) Create a new Scrivener file with the same template and drag and drop it to your NaNo file (having both projects open).
I thought it might be something like that. Thanks!
Wow! Fantastic job.
Thank you!
You’re welcome 😉

Congratulations! I just knew you would make it, no matter what!
Thank you for your constant support! Now the hard part–editing. Well and I still need to finish my last chapter.
In many ways, I prefer editing to writing, probably because that’s how I started out…
Maybe I should see how you do the editing. I can understand how NaNo becomes difficult for an editor. It’s hard to turn that off.
That sounds like a great idea!
