btw 40k words today!!!! i originally estimated this work to be roughly 60k at the end of the first draft but now i think it will be longer. bc most of the juiciest parts of the story are still ahead of me so there's no way i have 2/3 of my total words already written

#she bork #novel 2024 #still feels like it is going SO slow bc i barely made any ground plot-wise today but i'm also really trying to give this project space and #time to breathe and air out; and i'm also being very firm about not going too crazy on daily words (most i've done in one day so far is 2.7k #and i don't think i'd let myself do more than 3k in a day) bc i really don't want to burn myself out. i want to stay consistent and steady #bc as soon as i start going 'well i wrote 4k yesterday so i can skip today i guess' i'm doomed. so i simply will not let it happen. but #still i'm impatient to edit!!!!!!!!!! ag whatever ik i'll get there. relax #ultimate goal is to be done w this manuscript's first draft by the end of may. and then start editing in like july after it has a couple of #months to stagnate so i can come back w fresh eyes
