I finished chapter 23 last night and it feels GREAT! The main conflict and fights scene are done, down on paper, and out of my worry closet. I’ve been looking forward to writing the resolution for a long time so I don’t imagine that will be hard. It is all downhill from here. Yeah!
The main fight scene will probably require a lot of revision, but I’m happy with it thusfar. As a rough, it’s not terrible. I’m thinking I have two chapters left to write and right now I’m at 92,500! That’s pretty darn close to where I should be at this point.
On another note, I am signed up to do the NaNoWriMo (http://www.nanowrimo.org/) next month. It’s where writers across the world (read: a writer is anyone who puts words down on paper, or a computer screen, so you can do this too if you feel so inclined) spend the month of November writing a 50,000 word novel from scratch. Now, I know that sounds daunting, but I banged out the first 72,000 words of my current novel in the first month, so I know it’s do-able.
Now the real question in… What story should I tell?
(Join in if you think that sounds like fun! I’ll be your cheerleader and you can be mine.)
Edit: Hey I'm 92.5% done! Does that mean I get an A for effort? No? Darn!

Oh, I'm joined....
And you wrote 72,000 words in a month? Are you married and have kids? I am, and banging out that many words in a month would be quite the feat indeed. Congrats!
