I've been neglecting my blog lately. Sorry everyone! I just couldn't bring myself to write here when I was writing so much in my story this past month.
How much? Let me tell you. My manuscript is 226 word processor pages with 1 inch margins, 1.15 line spacing and 12-pt font that's comparable to Times New Roman. It includes 103,803 words. If it were a book, it would probably be between 400 and 440 pages, depending on the format.
Between February 24 and March 26, I wrote 69,869 words in my novel, plus outlining a new project. I'm sorry if I sound braggy, but this is my blog and I'm proud of myself, dangit!
Even though this is my third novel, I've never submitted anything for publication. This is the one. My hope is to have it polished and ready to submit to literary agents by sometime this summer.
I've really enjoyed doing this, but I'm definitely looking forward to a few weeks focused on other things, like my family and my house and sewing.

So exciting!! Go for it, girl!
I'm still astounded that you wrote it so fast and it's so dang good!!
You've definitely got reason to feel proud and brag. But of course, it's not so much bragging you're doing, but updating, right?
But then you've outlined a new project? What, what?
Congratz on the writing, I love when I get in a good streak.
Congrats, it is great when you work so hard and get to then end knowing it was worth the effort, you produced something great.
