50,000

With a little over two days to spare I passed the 50,000 word mark yesterday. Still have the ending scenes to flesh out, but I'm almost there. Wow, Others is almost done and it's a month sooner than my original deadline.  Cool beans!

Ten days 20,000 words

After ten days I've written 20, 047 words.  Awesome!  I'm keeping a 2,000 word average, which isn't bad for a working stiff.  I outlined all of the plot points I want to hit in the story, which is helping. The plot points are only rough guidelines and I end up writing events and subplots that pop up along the way.

This has turned out to be a good move. So glad I signed up.  Just hope I can keep up the pace.
