Nanonovel no. 30: Mission Without End




And that concludes this project, which I hereby dub Inconstancy.



To review the whole microstory, check out this PDF. I recommend downloading it and viewing it in two-page view, with the option of showing a cover page.

It's been fun! Now, what real, macroscopic novels have you typed during this National Novel Writing Month?

Nanonovel no. 20: Love Trip



This is a customer's Woodstock, made in 1930, which is in unusually good condition. I enjoy these robust, well-engineered writing machines.
