30,000 words

I'm celebrating the milestone of 30,000 words today. At least halfway to the first draft of the novel. I've written and published plenty of poems before. But this is my first novel. I began seven weeks ago and have just kept going. I started with a page of notes about the story. I didnt really know what I should do next. I jumped into the deep end and started writing. I've since been told that this is the best way. And you try to keep going as best you can until you've written your first draft. Then the hard work of making it into something worthwhile begins. Well at least I'm halfway there.
