Whew! Just under the wire, too. The final word of the final chapter was written on the final day, and that word was “mage.” It’s not as breathtaking as “scar,” perhaps, but I’ll take it.

My brother Carl sent me this update. Go, Pagosa Springs!
Here’s a quote from the above article that made me happy: “In any case, there are now more peace symbols in Pagosa Springs, a town of 1,700 people 200 miles southwest of Denver, than probably ever in its history.
On Tuesday morning, 20 people marched through the center carrying peace signs and then stomped a giant peace sign in the snow perhaps 300 feet across on a soccer field, where it could be easily seen.”

I am also a big winner, and I finished my story. I shall not hide it because I like attention. It can use a ton of editing, though, and input from people who know more about space science than I do. Anyway,
I hope that works!!
Look at me. I’ve got that yellow tape across my chest from bursting through the finish line. My story’s not quite done, but the NaNoWriMo folks don’t care: I hit 50,000 words and they gave me this keen icon. Wasn’t that nice?
