I am so happy I have hit it, I think perhaps I will slow down, but not stop. I am not even close to halfway at this point if my outlining is correct.

I have never actually finished one.

I am proud of myself.

I haven't said that in a long time.

Every year, we seem to have a hero in our midst. Margo Lane was ours last year finishing 50 K about now (she wrote over 170 K that year; I'm confident that you can at least tie that now - if not top it!). The year before 'Mouseme' wrote over 100 K. The year before Talyesin started a new novel 13 days in - and made 50 K on it too.

You're in hallowed company now. Congratulations.

Every day, you wake up. Things can only go up from there.

Neat. I had actually given a talk on a panel of authors with Taylsin this past spring. He's doing pretty well for himself as an author and has a decent following.

I bought and had autographed Rob's latest anthology at Worldcon this past summer too. :)

He's active on Livejournal too where I keep up with him and I was at his home for a magazine launch 2 years ago. He's good people and an inspiring author to boot.

If I'm not mistaken livejournal is how he got started with the Truthseeker series.

Congrats. (I'm officially jealous)
And I understand about the not being even close to halfway according to the outlining. I’ve just passed the half-way mark (wordcountwise) and haven’t even got a third of the story down.

I would like to thank everyone for their words of encouragement. It is a good thing I started fast because it is going to be a busy week in the non-writing world.

To answer questions, I think I have decided to make it more episodic than a single piece so I am thinking I will crack 200K by the time the first part is done.

Done too! The word count part, at least. Like Kaobear, I'm barely past the halfway point in my novel. Gotta keep writing...
