NPI: Conclusion

Well, the Novel Push Initiative over at 5-Rings is over. I put in a decent second place showing, but my hat's off to everyone who participated, especially Ryan G. Sanders, who blew me away. He is not unlike some kind of machine that writes.

Nick said that I can keep going if I want. Since I'd been writing every day for nine months before NPI started, I see no reason not to continue.So I will.

Update: the latest revision of Nethereal is up to page 385, and the total page count is currently 659 down from 737. I've noticed that I reduce the page count by one every day from removing unnecessary dialogue and exposition alone. If this trend continues, I should be done in six weeks. Then it's on to polishing up "Beta Geminorum" for resubmission.
