Day Thirty-nine - 74,420 words and counting

I'm writing a novel. All my progress can be found on my private blog. The commentary for each day's work can be found below.

I really got into the flow last night, doing 300+ more words than my goal. That doesn't mean I can slack off today, though. The counter resets every day. That's the rule.

Not that I think I'll have a tough time writing today. I've been looking forward to doing this confrontation between Merona and Gessica, and now I finally get to. The stuff that led up to it yesterday was a last minute idea, but damn, how creepy would that be to find a letter to you in a book you didn't even know you were going to find?

Will this scene take the entire chapter? I'm thinking no, although I'll probably conclude the scene with today's writing. The end of it (as it's currently planned... ask me again in an hour or two) will lead nicely into Bryony's next scene, and the chapter should conclude with a nice little scary moment.

So, without any further ado, let's get over to Merona and find out what she's thinking.

Well, I think that went pretty well. I would like to go over this scene later and improve it, but it serves, it serves. It sets up the next scene and drives the Merona side of the plot for the next section of the book.

Chapter 19 continues tomorrow with more Bryony stuff.

Today's Total: 2,146 / 1,689 words (127.1%)
Nov. Progress to Date: 15,193 / 13,512 words (112.4%, 1.0 days ahead)

Nov. Total Progress: 15,193 / 50,670 (30.0%)
Est. Completion: 74,420 / 250,000 words (29.8%, 104 days to go)
