I passed the 75,000 word barrier just now on the Big Thing I’m Working On. I started working on it at about this time last year, which means that I’m averaging something like 200 words per day, averaged out. Not too bad, considering how hard it is for me to find solid hour or two blocks for writing these days.

It’s a nice feeling, though – I’m so, so close to done. Then it’s a couple of weeks off to research and think about the second phase of this writing project, and then it’ll be time to plug in old things, rewrite, edit, and find the story that lies somewhere inside all of the prose.
