Quarter Of The Way There!
A couple of days ago, my beta, JK issued me a challenge. That challenge? Reach the 20 000 word mark by the end of the month. And do you know what? Even with a few bumps in the road 1 I have managed to do that with just over four hours to spare.
What makes this even more exciting is that I only reached the 10k mark on the 15th of this month - that means I wrote 10k - doubled my total - in half a month. If I keep this speed up 2 that means I can write 20 000 words of a draft a month. And that can result in one 80 000 word novel in four months.
And that means my goal is completing the first draft of Lionheart before NaNo - where I plan to write as much of The Circled Green 3 as possible - is a very distinct possibility indeed. Let’s hope that is the case after all, so JK can have plenty of stuff to beta.
In the meantime: 20 000 words! Yippee!

- And it does not seem like it is impossible, as I have discovered that I can write more than 1000 words a day if I focus [ ↩]
