“Lilah, we are so close to the end. I can feel it.” –George Florence
When my character said this in my novel to end a certain part I ended up jumping for joy. Sure, I’m excited that my characters pretty much solved their murder mystery…but I’m more excited because if they solve the case then that means the novel is finished.
I wrote 5,010 words of the novel today and even though I have been getting sick of writing so much each day it is totally paying off. If I didn’t write 15,000 words in the past three days then I wouldn’t be this close to the end of the novel.
I have two or three more scenes before the big cliff-hanger ending. I’m assuming I have about 10,000 more words or so left. Then book one is complete!
Of course tomorrow marks the weekend and I vowed to write only a minimum of 1,000 words of the novel so l could focus on editing another novel. I may write more than 1,000 words, but l know l’m not going to be done with the novel this weekend. But by the end of next week l will definitely have it completed.
