My Weekly WIP Status Report!
Last week, I posted that I wanted to write 10,000 words in a week to reach a total of 43,000 words. Well, I’m amazed to tell you that I not only reached that, but also surpassed it. I’m now at a total of 48,757 words. I wrote over 15,000 words this past week!
So, that means I only have about 25,000 words left to write for this first draft. And I can see the end on the horizon which is an incredible feeling. I think part of the reason the words have been flowing so well is due to this. The end is in sight, and I’m working hard to get through that finish line.
I’m starting the fourth and final “act” of my plot tomorrow night, since I’m using the four act structure. It’s exciting to be this far along after almost four months of working on this one, and I don’t want to jinx it but…it isn’t going to be much longer before I type the words, “The End.”
You go girl! Awesome progress.

That is fantastic. I am also thoroughly jealous. Were you able to keep things pretty well balanced or did you have to give up anything important to you to find the time?
Well, I wrote a lot of that on Friday and Saturday, so no on that part. The weeknights? I gave up some sleep.
Woohoo! Way to go.
