Zoe helped me make some pancakes this morning. Sort of.

Word Count

Today was a good writing day. I am definitely going to come in short of my 80k goal. I have only two-three chapters left to write, but I also know I'm going to have quite a few holes to fill in on the next draft.

Either way, the end is in sight!

Tuesday

Word Count



If I finish in 500-1,000 word increments, so be it.

Monday

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.
