Original count: 15939 First count after starting FF: 16271 Present count: 17417 Net gain: 1476 words
The number of new words is small, but the progress is huge. I have mechanicals for the entire story laid out, I got past doubts about plot and the possibility of actually finishing the story, and I've made some lovely new acquaintances. Total win!
I haven't finished the story or the first draft -- not that I expected to, since this is a long story.
BUT! I have finished two chapters! (I'm editing this comment to mention that because I didn't realise before that I could count chapters as progress. ::facepalm::)
I have also got about 2/3 of the way through typing up the mountain of words that had piled up in my notebooks, and I've also worked on the outline for the whole thing. I finished and typed up one of the harder scenes to write, and from here on, I have some things to look forward to, so I'm hoping it will be easier. The first draft looks both longer then I expected, but also more do-able.
Thanks to you and all the other writers here for their help and support!
