I think I'm done.

I just plugged in the 128MB USB drive I've been keeping my NaNoWriMo docs on.
My 7158-word novel-to-be along with other assorted notes and the like.
I just plugged it in, and it's empty.

Fuck.

Yeah, maybe. But my enthusiasm's taken a big hit either way. It doesn't help that today started on a low note and has just slid slowly downward since.

I do think there's a silver lining in that what I put down from here out will be cleaner than what I had -- it started to get rambling and tangled, and I had nearly written myself into a corner that would have ground everything to an awkward halt. So now I have an idea of where I'm going, and I just got 1050 words re-writing my first scene, so... -shrugs-

Like riding a bike: it hurts when you fall off, but if you don't get back on you'll never learn to ride.
