93,118/50,000 (~186%)

Dec 01, 2008 12:50

My little plan to hit 100,000 words was derailed by needing to sleep on the night of the 29th; at that stage I had reached 86,000, and I really needed to be closer to 91,000. I wrote about 7,000 words on the last day, but there was no way I was going to be able to write 14,000. I had given up on the idea of a sprint to the end by about 8 pm, and went back to my usual style this month, trying to write a reasonable quality of first draft, rather than slavishly chasing after the word count.

If I printed it out as a paperback novel (my PDF is set to have approximately the same line/word count as a paperback) it would currently be 340 pages. And I'd say I'm only halfway there!
