La Vie Boheme

Closing in on 50,000

In the next day or so I'll cross the 50K word mark on The Exile's Daughter. It's a nice feeling, almost better than NaNoWriMo, because it hasn't felt frantic--largely because it's taken most of two months to do it instead of one.

I've slowed down a lot compared to last month. I'm not sure what to think about that. I'm trying not to mind, because well, I'm still working consistently, and the story is moving along, just at a slightly slower pace. I haven't had as many exhilirated "wow, I wrote a LOT" days as I had before, and I have to admit, I kind of miss that. Still, an average of about 5,000-6,000 words a week is nothing to sneeze at, and I deserve to get kicked for thinking otherwise.
