As November draws to a close, I've downed tools on anything non-essential to complete the final push to make my 50K in 30 days. Am I going to make it???
I think the answer is yes. After last week's stall, I finally took my heroine out of her usual environment for a trip to a new and exciting world, and hey presto, the words started to flow. I'm now sitting at just over 45000 words with an anticipated finish date of Friday. Who would have thought it last week? There's a pretty major plot hole I've managed to skirt around during this first draft, and that's going to need a lot of work during revisions. But I think finally, after three and a half weeks, I now know my hero and my heroine well enough to get this story finished. Wish me luck...

Thanks EE. I can't believe after nearly three weeks of hell, it finally came together. Hope you are writing up a storm too.

Wow Fi. My best effort only even produced about 5K but that was at uni. I look forward to reading your works.

Hi Marie, thanks for dropping by. 5K is still an awesome effort, don't you think. This one is going to need a bit of kicking into shape, but hopefully, one day you'll be reading it as a published work.

Hi Allison, yes it is excellent news. If you'd seen me earlier in the month, moping about, trying to get my head around these characters, you'd have been worried. Then I did a reverse character trait on one - changed him from nice and caring to selfish and dishonest - and I was off. It's always nice watching your other characters realise they've been taken in by someone who's not all he seems. Comments are closed.
