Word Count update

I hit "Average Night" on the Reggie Miller Writing Continuum, finishing with more than 2,300 words.

My current work in progress is at 19,000 words. I'm shooting for about 80,000 words for this one, which means I'm about 23% "finished."

I put quotation marks around finished because we all know that percentage is bupkis.

He's on fire!

I have done it a few times, but today I hit the fabled heights of "Reggie at the Garden" on the Reggie Miller Writing Continuum. In just a few hours of writing today, I produced more than 5,400 words, bringing the word count on my new work in progress to 16,691 words. Considering I started it just last week, I'm really motoring along on this thing.

It will break my heart when I start revisions and realize the plot makes no sense!

Time for a Star Wars quote:

Han: You know, sometimes I amaze even myself.

Leia: That doesn't sound too hard.

Sold-Out Conseco, baby!

I started a new novel earlier this week...and I can tell I'm excited about it. Four days of writing have produced more than 10,000 words! That's a tremendous amount of output. I have a very clear idea where this one is going and feel like I have a real sense of the characters I'm writing about. That's helped move things along...it also means I've hit "Sold-Out Conseco" for the first time in a long time on the Reggie Miller Writing Continuum. It's on the low end, 3,500 words, but it's still pretty good!

I shouldn't say this because I know it will jinx me...but if I put my mind to it Saturday or Sunday, I may be able to hit the fabled, lofty heights of "Reggie at the Garden." I don't expect to keep up this torrid pace (if I do, I won't complain), but a few more days like today and this book will be finished in no time (I'm not crossing my fingers, however).
