But you deserve more than that dear reader.
So since I last posted, there's been some ups and downs. Last Thursday I only got about 1,000 words written. Yeah, it was a holiday, but I had intended to go to the Turkeyday dinner, and come back early enough to crunch out another thousand or so words.
That so didn't happen. Not that I'm complaining. There was a lot of wine, a lot of good conversation and a cute 1 year old, so I obviously don't regret it.
Then Friday I managed to get about 2,500 words done. So, that was good.
Writing wise, Saturday was amazing. A friend and I staged our own write in. We put in Game of Thrones and just wrote, occasionally reading small pieces we thought came out well. Yeah, I know I said I wasn't letting anyone read what I was writing until I'd finished and gave it a second pass.... but I only read small snippets, so it doesn't count.
Anyway, that put me within 4k of the finish line.
Sunday I had wanted to bang out all four thousand word. However, I got into holiday shopping and it just didn't happen. I got about 1,500 words done. Monday I ended up having more holiday shopping issues and so only got about a thousand done.
That left me to finish it today.
Which I did.
That's it for the numbers.....
The fact of the matter is that I sort of ran out of plot last week. As I've mentioned earlier, I had made up an outline for the first chunk of the book, but I wrote to the end of that last week, which just kind of left me spinning my wheels. I wrote a lot of character scenes and just kept going... which means there's a good chance that what I wrote in the last few days will never see the light of day.
The important thing is... I got 50k.
