Tis the last day, but not the last day, if that makes sense.
I did not get the story done in the 30 days, but I did knock a big hole in it. All 85,177 words of it.
I did not anticipate the story would go that long, or consider that it might even be longer, say, around 100,000 words.
But, this is what happens when the story tells itself, going down narrow alleys and ending up in dark corners you never anticipated at the start.
That and the fact the characters evolve, and some even begin to start stealing the show and have to be reigned in.
It's been an enjoyable journey though, and fun to write, but after I've got the first draft done, there is going to be a 6-month hiatus because so many other projects got put on hold so I could get this done.
And fortunately, at this time, we have the perfect weather for writing, continuous rain, so it makes it easy not to regret not going out.
There will be further updates through December, until the book is done.
But, for now, it is done!
...
Today's word count: 3,784 words, for the running total of 85,177.
