Word Count

A quick post here to follow up from yesterday. I’m trying to get as many words on book three of The Ghost and the Mask as I can while I’m on break from my MFA program. I’ve already got about 71k, but need another novel’s worth to finish it.

I did not add anything to my word count yesterday, but today I did pretty well: 1061. Still not as much as I’ll likely need to finish this thing, but much better than I’ve been able to do so far this month.

Here’s the rundown:

DateWords
3Nov25 – 9Nov25839
12Nov25200
13Nov251061
Total 2100

Only about 47,900* to go! I’m afraid to do the math for what that means per day.

*This is a total guess. I am really not sure how much more I have to write.

What are your thoughts?
