Weekly WIP Status Report Time
So close! So very very close.
Last week, I mentioned that I would try to complete the novel within the next week. That didn’t happen. However, I still made some good progress. Eventually. I’m almost there!
As far as totals are concerned, I wrote almost 7,000 words this past week which gets me up to a total of 63,027 words. That puts me at a 90% completion. I really struggled with the last major scene which revolves around a battle. There are lots of little scenes that make up the big picture, and I was having trouble tying it all together, pacing it and getting all the right ingredients mixed together for it. But I think I figured out a way to make it work. Regardless, it’s written and I can always fix it during the editing phase if there are still problems with it.
I have the last chapter and a short Epilogue to write, wrapping up the last remaining plot threads. Then, that’s it. I’ll be finished…(!!).
Woohoo! Way to go, Jen! =o)
Almost there! How awesome!
You should feel very proud, Jen. That’s a big accomplishment! While it’s true that revisions and editing are hard work, I think getting the initial story down on the pages is by far the most challenging part of novel writing. Good for you!
