It would've made more sense to post this milestone on day 100, I suppose, but I've been so busy with getting ready for Christmas--and staying up to even later record times to complete my writing--that I didn't think about it until now. But it is a milestone. 100 days!
I still don't know whether I'm on track to finish by the end of the month. Several plot points that I've tackled this month, which I had thought would equal a chapter each, stretched much longer--meaning it took me longer to write them. I did, however, rearrange some plot points to combine them, so I may not be all that behind. It will depend on how many words are required to reach the next few points. And, considering that a lot is happening here at the end, each point may take more time than before.
But I'm still plugging away. I've written 16,000 words so far this month, averaging 888 per day, which is better than I've ever done before. Even though I've had a lot to do and have been putting my writing off until last before bed, I haven't fallen into the trap of only doing 200-300 each night before succumbing to exhaustion. I think it may have to do with all the exciting things happening in the book here at the end, so I'm excited about writing it even when I'm tired.
It will be done soon, though, even if it isn't before 2011. It will be strange to move on to something else, since I've devoted so much of my life to this. Let's see if I can keep this streak going for the next 100 days!

Way to be! I don't think I've ever gone 100 days straight. (I miss Saturdays a lot.) Congrats! Good luck on finishing--you sure picked a hectic time of year for that goal. ^_~
