107K; bored of Housesitting word counts yet?

Two weeks (almost) and about 12,000 words done...

As you can see, closing in on another made-up word count. 110K is so last month. Impressed that tonight's writing got me to exactly 107K though.

I'd love to tell you the ending is right around the corner, but it's not. I will say that the last half of the last act is coming right up, which includes some shocking revelations, some very kinky material and hopefully at least one slam-bang-thank you ma'am sex scene. I say 'hopefully', I know it's coming. I'm more 'hopeful' that it's good. Funnily enough I always worry!

Anyway. 12,000 words in two weeks is a steady pace (strictly speaking it's 13 days, I guess) but it's not record breaking. It's been a busy couple of weeks and my usual writing habits got disrupted a few times. Hoping this weekend to really put a dent in the final section and start on the downhill slope.

Of course, I have 13 days to go until my self-imposed deadline. I don't feel confident I'll get there, but you never know. Sex scenes tend to go long, and I've got one more transformation scene too, which could be a doozy... we'll see. I'll be pretty close I think. And close counts in novel writing. And horseshoes. And hand grenades. Because I said so....
