Camp Nano - Day 25
Today's word count: 2,667
It's still technically today. For another 11 minutes. Seeing how I plan to finish my story tomorrow (another 5,000 words - or maybe just a little more than that) I thought I'd have a late night writing session, just to say that I've actually done at least ONE late night writing session (the latest I've had so far is probably around 10pm, but now its 11:51pm). I've had my latte about an hour ago and thankfully it hasn't put me to sleep yet like lattes usually do (weird I know! and only at home never lattes that I buy during the day while at work!).
My two protagonists have just arrived at the palace to rescue my MC (and one of them has stolen two things. Including someone's meaningful keepsake!).
And all I have to write now is the final confrontation scene tomorrow. And I'm pretty sure (hopefully!) that it will eat up the last 6,000 words in no time - that seems like an amazingly small number!
26 days of writing. 6,000 words left. A total of 80,000 words on the nose. Now, I'm sure I'll go over that slightly. But I'm thinking not by much.
Of course, when it comes time to do the dreaded EDITING in November...that'll most likely increase rather than decrease.
Writing 80,000 words in under a month now that I'm so close to finishing it seems surprisingly easy. But I think that's just because I'm so close to the finish line that I can see the red tape stretched between the two posts!
Three minutes to midnight. Bed calls and an early morning to get started on the final chapter of my story! (and then, of course, I'll have to actually add all the chapters!!)
Total word count: 73,706
Total word count left to reach 80k: 6,294
