I will update the percentage written for the novel in this post. I assume that the novel will be 90,000 words long. This may vary, but it’s what I’m aiming for as a goal.

			44,000 of 90,000 words

I’ve been writing a lot more lately with an average of 1000 words per week.

I’m committed to writing a minimum of one chapter per week (more or less). This is still the goal, but it’s not every week as I have other goals that also take up my time. It’s been a hard slog to write this novel because of many factors but one of the main ones was the learning curve involved in creative writing. Luckily thanks to a critique group called Hard & Tough Critiques on Facebook (you can join), I’m able to move forward with this novel.

I have slowed down on the writing front due to …life. Smaller progress is being made.
