Today, I passed the 20,000 words mark! Yay! Of the first draft…so there’s still along way to go but progress is progress.
Also, I’ve been collecting a list of names of the last few days (first and last) and also some naming rules so that when I need a new character I have a list to draw upon. Hopefully this will come in handy as the novel progresses. 🙂
Word Count: 20,046 words.
That’s all for now, folks. 🙂

Congrats, it’s always exciting to make a milestone 🙂
That is great! Congratulations; these milestones are quite happy-making. =D
20,000 is a huge number. Fantastic !
Well done! Sheesh, 20,000 is a whole bunch of words!
Haha 🙂 Thanks. How’s your own WIP going?
I completed the first draft of Under a Burning Sky about a month ago, and I’ve now rewritten two chapters (roughly 12k words), as well as planning the whole first section of A Cool Wind Blowing. It’s a long way off though – might hit shelves around September next year.
Awesome 🙂 Best of luck with that deadline. DO you plan to self publish? Or do you have a publisher already lined up?
I’m going down the self-publishing route, if and when I can raise the money for professional editing et cetera. I submitted to a traditional publisher until I was accepted, in order to satisfy my dreams of being accepted traditionally, and now I’m going to self-pub.
