It’s not finished. My characters are in limbo and I can feel them standing on the edge of something big, something life changing. Nevertheless, I made word count and completed my first National Novel Writing Month learning a lot about myself as a person and a writer in the process.
A few statistics:
- Number of chapters: 20 (so far)
- Number of secrets revealed: 2 (and counting)
- Total word count to date: 50,605
- Number of random historical research questions I’ve asked my mother: 30+
- 50,000nth word: of (sad, but true)
The goal is to finish the rough draft, which is what this is, before the end of the year.
Time to get a bit of sleep now, I think, give my eyes a rest, and catch up on some TV.
Congratulations!
My 50,001st word was “Of” 🙂
