I did it.
I did it.
For the first time ever in my life, I did it. I hit 50,000 words on a story!!!! 90 pages!!! I can't believe it!!! During the month of June, I have been fighting to finish my novel. You know the one I started two years ago during NaNoWriMo... and still haven't finished! This summer I decided for once and for all, I'm going to stick with it and finish it. My major goal is to be able to say we are on the revision stage by August 1st. But my first goal was just to hit 50,000 words like what I had hoped in November for like two years.
Well on this past Saturday, I did it. I hit 50,000 WORDS!!!
I cannot express with words how much this means to me. How accomplished I feel. How happy and motivated I feel. It's a first draft. It's in the beginning stages, but it's almost finished. I hit the over halfway mark. I hit it. A goal that I thought I'd never hit. A goal that has taunted me for years. I finally hit it. The story itself is not over yet. It has still about 20,000 words to go til I can call it finished and ready for someone else to read it. But the goal that seemed kind of impossible at the beginning of the month is definitely feeling a whole lot more possible!
