WIP Status

So, I'm working on my first novel. This past weekend, I sat down to flesh out some scene ideas for the 23-24 chapters it will have. I've decided to try tackling one scene ever night. As I'm new at this, I'm not sure if that's wishful thinking or something that's feasible. I work a full-time job that's sometimes mentally taxing, so I'm often tired at night. For the time being, though, I've decided that writing from 9-11:30 at night should work for me. I can always grab a short nap before writing if need be.

Before last night, I had racked up 10,517 words in three chapters. I began last night's session with Chapter Four's first scene. I was able to finish the scene, which involved jumping into a new character's head, and I ended up with 12,222 words. Not too shabby, I guess.

I'll be finishing the chapter tonight with the last of the two scenes. I've decided to take tomorrow off from work to see if I can push my word count closer to 20,000.
