My friend, you have passed me gallantly, clearing 30,000. I am lagging behind at 25K. However, though I am a day behind, I am now only one day behind, and without a play or strike, I will have more time the next two days to write. No longer will I be cleaning to procrastinate writing--now I'll be writing to procrastinate packing.
I have been in a slump with my book, unsure of where to take it, but last night I decided that I am going to approach it like a play, and the second act will be related but entirely different. Different mood, different POV, but the same story. Much more experimental, where the first half was relatively conventional.
I have a working title, finally, which makes a huge difference in how I feel about the book: Foxes and Bluebirds
Current word count: 25,000

Technically my dear you're not that far behind and good work getting as far as you have. Just keep it up and don't let the vampires, plot bunnies or a new more seductive story idea stop you. We're going to make it!
I just need to bust ass because I know that my story is going to be long from over by the time 50k hits, so I need to cover some ground.
