I have been working on the story, the editor is asking for a second draft after making suggested changes - and I'm now working on it
...
Whilst it seems that it's highly possible to write 50,000 words in 30 days, it's not necessarily as easy to write a whole book.
Well, at least for some of us.
If the book is going to be about 50,000 words, which you have planned, then I guess it's possible. It might end up having about 70 to 90,000 words, and be edited back to 50,000, but in the interim, this story is not going to end at the prescribed time.
Of course, that might not be the outcome I had at the start of the project, but that doesn't mean that I'm not chuffed that nearly all of it is done.
There's two days to go, it's not going to finish, but I will have a good idea where it's going.
However, right at this very minute, I'm not sure how it is going to end, good or bad, for some of the characters.
...
Today's effort amounts to 1,988 words, for a total, so far, of 66,331.
More tomorrow.
