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.
