Progress on my Novel: December 31

So much for restarting this blog, huh?

I didn't write anything all December. And it's not that there wasn't anything to write about. The whole family took our first trip to Chicago, which was really enjoyable. And there's been plenty of stuff happening in the news. But I just haven't taken the time to actually write in this blog. When I do sit down, I want to work on my novel, so that's what I've been doing.

And how has that been going? Fairly well. The goal I set for myself, as I mentioned last month, was to write at least 1,000 words a day six days a week. Other than the week we were in Chicago, I have managed to do just that. And progress has been steady but slow.

On November 30, the day of my last post, I had written 11,362 words (36 pages) and I was in the middle of chapter three. Today I have written 39,113 words (118 pages), and I'm in the middle of chapter seven.

And it's time to get started on word 39,114.
