Getting The Book Done: Days 10-11 of 15

GOAL: To get my novel finished by the end of the month.

Book Update: I finished about 2,500 words of my novel this weekend, and realized that a lot of what I was planning for the next section was unnecassary. I was going to have two "peaks" for the end, and honestly, I don't know what my characters would do between the peaks. I'm combining both peaks into one giant grand finale. That saves time, and I think will be a benefit to the reader. It'll also keep it at about 100K words, which is my target length. I'm getting there!

As I write my novel, I'm also moving and experiencing some upheaval at work. I'm going to double-post today to fill you in on some details, and leave this for my "book" update.

Approximate Words Needed To Complete Novel: 15,000
Approximate Words I Should Be At*: 11,000

*This number is always a day behind, as I report in the morning.
