51,315 Words!
As of 11:56pm, I have an unofficial total of 51,315 words in The Search for Herself. I wrote 5241 words tonight. Since about 8:30pm. Yes. I wrote 5241 words in not quite 3 1/2 hours. I type like the wind.
I say unofficial because I'm not quite finished. I've written the climax, but not the denoument. Because I want to actually finish a novel, rather than just writing 50K of one (Devil Daughter from last year still isn't finished, even though I wrote 72K and it's a better story than this one), I will write the final scene tomorrow and get it validated so I can get my official purple bar and banner and certificate and stuff. But not until the story is done.
And then I will put the gawdawful story away and maybe never ever look at it again. But I have to finish it first or it will haunt me. And all I want is for it to Go. Away. (Except that it just started to get interesting. Dammit.)
