Word Count



This may not seem like great progress but I'm getting to a weird place where I need to figure out where a few elements in the story go, and those decisions impact other things. So even though the word count is not terribly high, it's a productive time for me.

I also think this might be an unusual case when I write less than I was expecting. Normally I overwrite and end up having to cut. This may be an exception to my normal tendencies.

However, I shouldn't be surprised. When I first thought of this idea I imagined it as a novella and just figured I'd might as well shoot for 80k because that would put this story in the typical novel range. I'm not going to force the length, though. No padding. But right now I'm thinking I probably won't make 80.
