I received my winner’s t-shirt in the mail (I bought it..the only free awards were downloadable images) and feel great wearing it, possibly like someone who has run a race proudly wearing the commemorative t-shirt after crossing the finish line.
Here are a few stats of my own: as of yesterday morning I finished chapter 14 and am at 56,667 words. I think the book will have 19 or possibly 20 chapters (though I’m considering making smaller, more focused chapters) and I’m guessing 70 – 75,000 words. Still doable by Jan 1!
