Halfway There!!!!!

Crank up the Ipod and play Beethoven's Ode to Joy... well, just the first half. I have officially reached the halfway point of The Mystery of the Cyber Bully. While I had a couple of false starts, the steady pace of 1,000 words per day has really helped me get back into the rhythm of writing. There have been a few days when I've pushed myself over the mark, but 1,000 is a reasonable word count on the days when I have workshops and author visits. I think I'll be able to up the word count when I get into revision, but for first drafts, I'm going to stick with a minimum of a 1,000 words per day.

The reason why I'm so thrilled with this milestone achievement is the fact that I've proven to myself that I can get half a y/a novel finished. That means I can do the other half in the same amount of time. It's like getting to the end of a Wednesday. Once you've hit the midpoint of a work week, you know you can go the rest of the way.
