the starting line
Oct. 31st, 2010 11:52 pmThe flesh-eating bacteria novel (FEBn) as of shortly before midnight, October 31st, stands at 39,217 words by manuscript wordcount, or at 34,944 by microsoft wordcount. I have left myself on this last line to pick up and run with once the clock ticks over to November:
"Well, that's completely fucked," Julie said.
Solely for the purposes of my NaNoCheaMo score, I'm going to use microsoft as my official wordcount, and I'm calling 34,944 as zero. The goal (my goal, anyway) is to add 50,000 new words to this (first) draft, which should finish it. I'll take fewer words over more if they're less broken, but it's hard to quantify that on the run. Suffice it to say that as long as I make decent forward progress without completely borking the entire thing, I'll count myself a winner. (-:
