Almost Halfway

The title for this post has a double meaning: we’re almost halfway through the year and I’m almost halfway done with the draft for The Drop: Season Four. The year’s midpoint means revisiting the goals I set at the beginning and seeing how things have progressed. It’s tempting to mark off some items, but I’ll wait until we hit that date at the end of the month. As far the book goes, I don’t usually set a goal for number of pages in a book, other than the normal novel length. First weighed in at 125k words, a lot for a novel. My subsequent releases are more in line with the 75-90k range. For calculation purposes, I assume 80k on average, and hence the notion that I’m almost halfway there with what I’m writing since it stands at 36k words before I add more this morning. Even though being to this point doesn’t really mean anything, it’s still a fleeting mile-marker on the way to completing the book.

P.S. Regarding my last post, First hit 1,000 ratings that same day, just in case you were wondering. The tally stands at 1,002 as of now. Woo hoo!
