Day 200: November 24

from the newsdesk: 
Books are so novel

I am [attempting] to write a novel. I started out doing it just for me, but then found this website that can track your words and then verify it as a 'novel'. But to have it verified, it has to have fifty thousand words. As of today, at 8.54pm, I had ten thousand and three words [10, 003] and 19 pages. I can't believe I actually got to 10,000. It seems like just yesterday that I had under 1000 words.

I probably won't finish it by the end of November, as I've got just under 40,000 words to go and a week to get there. Including school. But my aim is to finish by the end of the year and by [hopefully] writing about 10,000 a week, I can get there. Before this, the longest story I'd ever written way probably closer to three pages.
