Today I reached 100 pages, which is a goal I had set for the middle of the month. It certainly feels good to be this productive, though I continue to hope that what I'm producing is actually good.
From now one, in terms of completion goals, I'm going to focus more on the number of words than on page numbers; my eventual goal for the whole novel is around 120K. I have about 30K right now.
I finished up a 'connective tissue' scene that actually needed to be longer than I originally thought. I also began what will turn out to be a fairly big, important scene, and will be the second-to-last thing that happens in Chapter 4.
Writing went a bit slower today; I think grading the placement tests threw me off my game a bit, but then I have to wonder if all Fridays are a little sluggish, even if you're doing work for yourself! I have a very sweet schnauzer here, who rests comfortably on the futon, looking out the window, and letting me write all day. I feel very lucky to have her.
Now, off to take care of a week's worth of dishes so that my husband and I can actually eat dinner tonight on plates.

Congratulations! I agree completely-100 pages is a huge milestone. I'm ready to start reading any time. Meanwhile, I'm enjoying the blog. It's nice to be able to check in when I'm on the road. Miss you!
