    It’s Not a Train!

    The light! At the end of that tunnel! It’s…it’s…not a train!

    I have just (during lunch) finished the penultimate scene of Killing Time! I’m mostly happy with how it came out, but I am going to have to go back and tweak a few things here and there. I made copious notes. I’ll bet, in fact, that if I were to count all the copious notes I have made along with all the words in the story, I’m a lot closer to 90,000 words.

    That being said, my word count now is 87,164. Maybe just another 3000 to 3500 words, and this sucker will be done.

    Done! DONE, I TELL YOU! DONE!

    Then I can work on those short stories I have waiting.


    Project working title: Killing Time
    New words: 1,350
    Current total words: 87,164
    Goal: 100,000
     

    Reason for stopping: I completed the scene and lunch hour was over. Very over. It was lunch hour-and-a-half or so.
