I actually do think I’ll finish, probably closer to 51,000 words than anything. I’ve been cutting myself off here and there to stay close to my outline, so the end is actually in sight. Right now our heroes are getting the snot kicked out of them, so they’re just about ready for something decent to happen for a change. Then a very short denouement will be served.

I just don’t see it happening. I’ve got about 3,000 words to go to reach the finish line but while it feels like it is reaching some conclusions it doesn’t feel near-done yet. I’m going to write it until it’s done. Hopefully that’s around November 30th, but we’ll see.

I updated my excerpt again. In case anyone wants to see what my fruitcake heroine is up to.

Yes, I wish you good luck and I can’t wait to see you on December 1st with your winner’s badger on it. Or something.

Anybody think you’ll go past 50k and still be writing? I don’t know if my book will be done, but fortunately per the rules it doesn’t have to be as long as it’s past 50k.

Go Chris Go! Go Chris Go! Okay, so what he doesn’t mention here is that he has spent the weekend fighting a head cold, hosting Thanksgiving, and being Mister Fabuloso Dad. Sorry, I think you’re doing wonderfully.
