Thought and Memory

New words: 2,178

Total words: 61,294

Listening/watching: Nothing.

Total words for the year: 212,631

That word count was all due to caffeine. A particularly bad attack of insomnia last night left me feeling like a zombie. The challenge is going to be how those words look tomorrow. I suspect they’ll need a lot of rewriting. But at least I sketched out the scenes, which is something.

I have no idea how long this book is going to end up being. I suspect it might be on the shorter side of things. We’ll see. I’m aiming for 100k, as a usual mark, but I don’t know how much more story I have left to fill another 40k.
