My characters do a lot of talking. And yelling. Very little action. We'll be at 70k before the Great Big Bad Thing that is the hinge of my story occurs, and then it'll take at least 50k to write out of that to the ending. That will make it quite novel-lengthed...

Mine do a lot of worrying. Or Katy does. The others...we dunno, 'cause it isn't from their viewpoint.

I should be at 60k within the next two days. And I'd hoped to wrap it up somewhere near there, but unless I really push it, it'll be more like 65k, I'm thinking. I hope. If it goes much longer than that, I'll REALLY need to cut stuff, plus I won't finish in time.

I have no clue what I'm doing with punctuation a lot of the time. I should review my old textbooks, I guess.
