Moving Along

I'm into Chapter Twenty-One now. I have about 72,500 words. I took a bit of a hiatus to think over the plot of my next few chapters. I think I will have about 30 chapters when I'm finished. I'm starting to see the finish line. But then there will be editing work ahead.

Still going...

Ok, the pace slowed down a bit as I hit a plot wall. I'm having to re-think some things, but I'm still moving ahead. I'm nearing 64K now in 18 chapters. I have gotten a few more readers looking over what's been written so far. This is mainly to aid in checking continuity and story flow, plus I like having feedback as I go along. It sparks me to continue slogging away.

200 pages and 60K

I hit my 200-page milestone tonight. It felt really good. I still can't believe I've written something that spans that many pages. And it seems to be coherent, too :). Who would have thought?

I'm still enjoying the process. Though I've taken a day or two off here and there, for the most part, I've worked straight through on this since July. I'm starting to feel like a junky: if I don't get my writing fix, then I get really cranky--just ask the hubby.

Additionally, I'm feeling more and more like there are more books in me. I've already got ideas for two others that tie into this one. I don't have anything mapped out for them yet, but I've been receiving glimpses of scenes here and there. They tend to interrupt my sleep, but I'll take them when I can get them.
