"but that vestal light, it burns out with the night"
30,177 words! this makes me infinitely happy as i told myself i would try to make it to 29,000 words before going to sleep tonight. then inspiration, long-winded description and a riveting action sequence blasted me well into a cozy 30,000+.
but now what? i have effectively reached my personal threshold.
in the many times that i have reworked and rewritten this story in the past, i have finally reached the farthest i have ever gotten with it. a milestone of sorts. from here on out, i'm on my own. the ghosts of the former me are no longer there to whisper their ideas into my ear. my plot is now more abstract, the vivid descriptions i have been conjuring up in my mind over the past six years are written out and firmly embedded in the 50-odd pages of ramblings. i have to seriously think again. this will definitely be a challenge with only nine days left in the month. but i think i'm up to it.
