Not bad for such an odd day. Things are looking pretty good for the story. The old ideas and the new pieces are melding very well, and though I have had to go back and add in pieces every now and then, it's still going well.
I've had a good few days. It's been fun, too. I haven't had a fun book so far this year, mostly because I keep getting stopped in the work. This little bit of madness has reminded me of what I'm supposed to be doing.
Maybe I should take three days a month to do marathons just for me. I'll have to consider it.
Right now I'm just a few hundred words short of 45,000. I've been trying to make sure I keep an average of 10,000 a day, so getting as much done early as I can helps a lot.
I might get this novel done. It's not going to be particularly long -- I'm now hoping for anything over 60,000 in this draft. And if I do that I'm going to be a very very happy person. This book has plagued me for years. This is my fourth rewrite from scratch, three of them in the last two years. I finally have the story and the words.
I am a happy person.
