Wow. Only 12 more days to go. Word count for today is 1,805.

Even though the story is going well, and I’ve written over 36K words since the start, I doubt I’ll have it done by the end of November. It looks like I have to keep going at this pace to finish the first draft by the end of the year as I have promised myself. Well, I have four days off around Thanksgiving and the whole week of Christmas. If I’m not too stuffed and sleepy from all the good food, I might be able to write some extra words during that time. But finish, I must.
