Wordcount: FIRST DRAFT DONE!!! edition
Novel #4: 61k words
I technically have a fight scene left to write (fight scenes are my kryptonite), but I'm declaring myself Done with Draft 1 of this manuscript.
WHOOOOOOO!!!!!!!
Anyway...I already have a list of revisions to make. I don't think the mystery makes sense yet (RIP), and I'm going to need many more descriptions and character reactions. On the bright side, with the number of things that still need to be fleshed out, I should be able to comfortably increase the wordcount to 70k (or more), which is a more comfortable wordcount for a fantasy mystery.
Basically, the book is still in rough shape (the joys of writing a speculative crime novel, lol). But hopefully, I'll be able to focus on making the mystery make sense now, instead of constantly being distracted by the fact that the first draft isn't done yet.
(Also, I am horribly behind on some IRL chores and need to do them, instead of using finishing my draft as an excuse to put them off...)
