So, the novel I started in November is still moving along (in fact, my muse woke me at the ungodly hour of 6AM today, clamoring for attention!). The original 50,000 words has grown to almost 66,000 and I've designated this as a writing day (as opposed to an accounting day or an errand day).
My goal is still to complete the first draft by the end of January which is (eek!) only about a week away!
I appreciate all of the encouragement I'm getting from so many directions, and am bouncing around the idea of attending a writer's conference in February and a writer's group next week. Do I dare share my baby with strangers?
The only answer I get is a resounding "Yes!". I love my family and friends, but they're far less likely to give me the constructive criticism I'll need to make this an actual, marketable work!
Write on!
