Have passed the 20,000 word mark on my current manuscript. After years of writing mostly journalism, I'd forgotten what the long haul feels like. Long.

Hi Regina,

I just saw your post and am feeling the exact same pain. I am a little further along on my next book -- at about 40,000 words -- but it's been (and still is) a real slog.....

One day at a time.... That's what I keep telling myself. :)
Hi Allison,

40,000 words sounds great to me! You mentioned your book in other discussions. Are you dealing only with the present-day? Virginia Woolf and her sister Vanessa lost their mother in their teens (Vanessa was fifteen) and I believe it strongly affected Vanessa's parenting of her own children.

Best,

Regina
