taharielAs of right now:
Obviously 100,000 words is a total guestimate, but it's the maximum people will usually take for a first novel, so I'm using it as a filler number, which means that I am now 3/4 of the way through my first draft!
I'm getting there! I'm writing again now that exams are over and I have time again, I'm booking myself in to a one-day writing course on Rewriting and Editing at the university, and I really feel like I'm starting to get to the wrapping-up-plot-threads-for-the-conclusion point, which obviously rules. (I also just got to plant the first real clue as to the identity of the killer, which had to remain secret up until now. Awesome!)
So I'm really happy!
