50019 – Yay!

It’s done. I’ve finished it. I guess I rushed over a few things towards the end – something to fix during revision.

I know I still have to put a lot of work into the draft to turn it into a proper (short) novel. For now, though, I’m happy with it as it is.

748 words tonight. Not bad, I only got home around 40 minutes ago. Tomorrow I should be back in the late afternoon, so hopefully I’ll get to 50k then.

Hm, it seems I’ve almost run out of story. Can I make the final scene last 2,800 words?

After two days of zero-word days, I’m glad I’ve made the minimum daily wordcount again today.

Again, no progress tonight. I’m giving myself the night off to recover from this mad week. I need the rest, I want to tackle 50k by Monday at the latest.

I always say you should always write at least a few words to stay in touch with your characters. There are the rare occasions, though, when I just know that I need to take a step back for a day or two and let the story stew for a bit for it to move on into the right direction.

No words today. Bad, I know.

Wow, and sometimes I surprise myself. After 11 hours of translation, researching and writing, I would have been happy with 100 words. I’m more than happy with the 519 I wrote today.

369 words. By far the smallest wordcount so far this year. But then I’m busy with lots of non-novel related things. I’m predicting a new low for tomorrow.

Huh, busy week, this. Deadlines, back to the day job, and finishing the novel. It’s going to be interesting. Good thing I’m only 7,850 words away from victory.

I blame Belle de Jour for revealing her identity and the Dr. Who special. But then, what am I complaining about? I should have 25k today, and I’m 15k ahead…
