I just hit a major milestone tonight. 10,250 words as of 9:45pm. With my end goal of 70,000 words, this means I’m likely around 1/7th of the way through my novel. Even though, I’m probably actually NOT 1/7th of the way through my novel, it feels like it, and so that’s what I’m sticking with for the time being.

But still. 10,000 words. I haven’t written 10,000 words worth of anything. Ever. This is big for me. But it’s only the tip of the iceberg.

Dive back in. Several more 10,000 word milestones to go.

And miles to go before I sleep. And miles to go before I sleep.
