fifty THOUSAND words. That’s like, a lot.

Just wanted to share a quick writing update – I hit that 50k mark tonight. I think it’s safe to say that I’m on the downward slope of this first draft. Still hard for me to say if its going to make 60k, or 80k (though I’d really suspect the former), but this feels like a milestone. Part of that probably comes from the fact that half of it was written this year (25k in the last 22 days). I’m actually itching to do the second draft, but I know I should box this when I finish and set aside for a month or two.

Of course, after all of the polishing, at some point I’ll have to figure out what to do with the manuscript when I’m done. Bah, that’s what March and April are for!
