Making a total of 122,948 words, I've just finished the 'gettings words on paper' phase of my current novel.

Figure I need to chop at least 10% of that to make it into a good book, but that can come later. Think I'll try working on something different for a while first.

Congratulations! Take a well-deserved break. Quaff a few, and think of us poor unfortunates who don't have your discipline, and smile.

Awesome. I'm still writing page upon page of notes, timelines, background, etc. Every time I get the urge to just start writing, I realize there are more notes to make so I'm not flying totally blind. But soon... soon.

Congratulations. That's a great achievement. I'm 90K+ into my first novel, and I wish I had it all out.

YEEEEEHHHHHHAAAAAAAAWWWWWWW!!!!

It's a huge moment of elation, isn't it? Elation mixed with just a little bit of sadness, like you've just said goodbye to an old friend.

Way to go!!!!

Defintely take a break! But don't wait too long.

I have a 140,000 word novel sitting idle...

Congratualtions, though. Getting as far as you have is quite an accomplishment!

JOHN!

Great job, Jules. Better than I've ever done.

BTW, shoot for at least 20 percent.
