116071 words
Its hard for me to believe I've written that much. I look at the number and feel stunned. How can this be? But I've done it, all since November 1. And here's what scares me: I don't feel I'm very close to the end. I don't want the manuscript to go over 120000 words but it looks like it might.Tonight I wrote 1603 words on the new manuscript and edited chapter 10 of The Scribe of Irohila. The more I read that novel, the more I like it. I hope I can get it sent out to publishers in 2004.
