xenithStopping to ponder word counts.
The first draft for this novel was 62,900 (written in 24 days, that was my first attempt at Nanowrimo "I thought this was supposed to be hard?").
In that first draft, the point I reached tonight is 15950 words in.
In the second draft, I'm up to 24780. Even allowing for the scenes I skimmed earlier on, that is not double. Yes!
If it continues like this, I'll have room to play with in final draft. Although I suspect there's going to be a lot more & fro type banter in the coming section. The sort of stuff that should be cut from a short story but I like to read in novels.
I'm also at the 1/4 way point. Good. Momentum is picking up too.
