Notes
The graph goes up, the pile grows, and the end of November draws nearer while the end of the novel does not.
Passed the midpoint of the word count and past the middle murk. The novel has opened its petals up and shown how it is going to be yet another 100,000+ word work before it is done. The character who was supposed to have an important section has found herself. It’s a bit sad that she’s someone I could only introduce in a novel in this series that is set in Richard’s past.
While today’s work puts a sharp upward curve in the graph, at the end of the day, I still have to write half of the novel in only nine days, and tomorrow I will probably have little time to write because it will be an 11-12 hour day at work, depending on how little the weather cooperates. I was lucky to not have to deal with New York so far, but tomorrow I touch it twice and a late-fall weather system will be over top of it. Nevertheless, I wrote Eileen’s entire 50k in two weeks, so a little over a week to do half that isn’t impossible.
I'd love to hear from you!
