Exit Strategy

He was considering exit strategies. That was something else his dad had taught him. Always have an exit strategy. It's how the super villians always outwit the super heroes, he would say whenever the Joker would disappear in a puff of smoke or Blofeld would roll away in a large plastic sphere - they always have a valid escape route.

And so Chapter Three will begin. End tonight at 14,100 - a little above the Nano mark but still edging around 1,000 words shy of where'd like to be. I'm thinking this will be a trend. My problem with focusing on a daily word count is losing attention to the overall pacing of the story. Then again, this was why I focused on short stories in college - because it lends more to the start, write, rewrite, rewrite instead of this manic need to continually hit further along the storyline. Good? I dunno, we'll see around Thanksgiving.
