I'll post my wordcounts here. This year I'm working on finishing a horror novel I've started and stopped a few times. This time I think it's going to work. After reworking what I'd already written, I'm ready to finish it. There should be about 20k words left in it. Maybe more. I'll post progress on where I'm at out of 20k. So far, I'm at 5,715.

13,734. Looks like I misjudged how many words were left to finish the book. I'm only half done.

It’s hard sometimes to know where are characters are going to take us! Sounds like yours are leading you into unexpected territory, which is always interesting!

Sorry - where our characters, not are characters. That’s what I get for not rereading before posting!

It's always exciting when a story goes somewhere unexpected.

20,971. The book ended sooner than it seemed it would. The total word count for the book is 49,072. I'll have a lot to add in edits, but my first drafts are usually short. Now to figure out what I'll be writing for NaNoWriMo. Maybe I'll start another story while I plot my NaNo.

This month has been strangely productive. I think I'll start on another story. This one's middle grade horror. I've never written for children before and I hope it doesn't end up too dark. The title is, Mirror of Dreams. A girl has to rescue her friend from a spirit who likes to play games that never end well for mortals. The girl has until midnight, on Halloween, or the spirit gets to keep her friend. I'm still working out other details, but I have a basic outline. I'm going for 40k.
