I broke 140,000 words tonight, and am well into the wrap-up of The Wizard of Suomen. I hit a slow spot for a few days, but I think the things that I needed sorted out in my head are good now, so I’m hoping to finish up the first draft within the next few weeks here. I think my tentative estimate of a 140K-150K word count in total for this first draft was fairly accurate.

Home stretch.
