Word Count Update: 7/20

I didn’t quite make my goal today, but I only missed it by under 900 words. I figure they 400ish I wrote past my goal a few days ago and the extra hundred or so I routinely pile on top of my 2,000 word goal when I do hit it makes up for the slip. I still need to try to get to 2,000 words every day, but sometimes a day can really take it out of you.

Not a ton to say today, really, but I am happy to say that my book’s getting its own voice and the characters are forming up and becoming human. The book is changing every day from what my outline says it should be focusing on, but I think I like the way it’s going. I was able to add in a main character that I previously thought I was going to have to lose from the book, the character I could see spinning off into a series of short stories or subsequent novels if I get ambitious about it…though I know I need to focus on finishing this novel and not caring about the further adventures of my characters.

OK, I said there wasn’t a ton, so, that’s it!
