before I publish

I don't want this to be an "I can do better" whine, but... NaNoWriMo is about whacking out the thousands of words, not about making them perfect or redrafting or anything like that. If I was publishing this for Posterity (whatever that may be), or on paper (which is more expensive), it would be undergoing a certain amount of alteration and re-arrangement first. Just wanted to say that before posting the thing itself.

It will appear in reverse order, of course, this being a blog. Other than that, the blog format does suit serialised stories very well. I'm sure Dickens would have loved it.
