Science Fiction Writers Workshop

NaNoWriMo is over. I have fifty thousand words which are about two thirds of the novel. What to do next? First I will take a week off. Just because and because I let some things slide that now need attention. But what to do on the novel next? I should simply finish it and then start a rewrite. But the NaNo dash has pointed out some ah, oh, deficiencies in the story so far. Not major problems just parts where I skipped over some details like the exact number of people or spaceships involved. Some stuff is more backstory focused and only the most anal reader would go through the math and call me on accelerating my ships too fast for them to be traveling at the speeds I suggest.

It's stuff to keep in the back of my mind until I start up again.
