Write novel as short story

[flonnebonne]

Tried rewriting my terrible nano novel as a terrible short story, and the process has been extremely helpful. Now I kind of know where the story is headed and what the point of the story is. Only took me some 70,000+ words, durrr. 

Now it's time to rethink some the characters, do some outlining, and rewrite everything I've written, sigh.
