Update

I'm not dead I'm just busy. I'm at 47247 words and counting. The goal was 50 thousand, but I've had to increase that by 15000 words, which is what I had started the story with. Okay I did spend the first day editing all of that, but I'm a purest and the competition was to write 50 thousand words in a month. So I'm going the honest route. I'm ahead of the game and have less than 1400 words to write per day this month to complete my goal. I believe I can do it. The problem for me isn't just that I have to write all this, I'm pretty creative. The problem is I am writing about things I don't know about at some points and I have to do research, a lot of research. So, off I go into the land of Google and search my little heart out. I am going to make it the goal. Really at this point the word goal isn't as important as my own goal of finishing my novel. It's something I have always dreamed of doing. So I'm chasing my dream down and beating it into submission. Wish me luck!
