Quick Progress Update

I’ve learned since we talked last that publishing companies expect a novel manuscript to be anywhere from 80 to 100,000 words in length.  I was keeping track of my progress by counting pages – shows what I know.  I went back and did a word count against every chapter (since I keep them separate and I back them up to Gmail).  I’ve got over 50,000 words written.  Thought you’d like to know how it was going.
