Nano Day 8

I feel like I've said this a few times now: I'm almost finished with Part 1.
 
Today I wrote the rest of the Big Scene that ends Part 1, plus the requisite "backstory followup" for the Big Scene. So I expect that tomorrow I'll be writing the first scene or two of Part 2. Unless I do that the day after.
 
Switching gears from humor (or at least light hearted) to horror has been easier than the reverse. Once I get into Grim Mode, I have to make an effort to get out of it. I think a notable portion of my later editing of this novel is going to be going through and "lightening up" many scenes. I'll be looking for something funny (or at least light hearted) that I can be adding to a scene or emphasizing within the scene.
 
I do like my jumble of writing styles in Part 1. I don't know that I'll continue that in Part 2, though, because Part 2 doesn't need as much backstory woven in.
