Hit 50,000 words!
One thing I've learned through writing my book is you're going to hit a lot of walls. May that be from life getting in the way or create blocks that squash any potential for words to transfer onto paper, it's a bit of a trip.
I recently hit 50,000 words in my manuscript and it's been bittersweet. There is still so much story to tell and I feel myself hitting that wall of distain. Where I hate every word I've put to paper at this moment.
Then I remember this is the roughest of rough drafts. It isn't going to be perfect. It's going to have cringeworthy scenes and dialogue which may result in me wanting to fling myself off a cliff (hypothetically of course) but it's part of the journey.
I'm proud of making it this far. Soon I hope to begin the revision rounds which are so desperately needed.
