Words pre-written to date. Time an approximation. Outline of 641 words written at this mark. Novel to be stand-alone (at this point, and, yes, I know series sell better, but this story is itself, and has links to series). Style is experimental, a blend of something more narrative with something more closely resembling 2nd person. I'll be taking it slow.
last 2 pieces of flash for the year :-)

Finished it. And even those words have me near tears. I was looking at the possibility of maxing out at 120k - did not dream it would hit 132.5k. The measure of 20 years of writer growth, I guess, and the story deserved the attention. Now, I can more onto my newer projects. I feel a little punch-drunk...which I can't afford. Half-way through the week, and I still have some chunky formats to do.
Also - FINISHED IT!!!
Have a great evening all - and happy new year, for a few hours time.
2 more pieces of flash - 50-word forms take as much effort to write as longer, more free-form pieces...but the challenge is worth it.
2 more poems down...116 to go. Coming into the home stretch for this, too.
Almost there...and terrified of something outside my control preventing the finish...as ridiculous as taht seems. Talk about irrationalities that need to be dealt with.
The end is in sight :-)
