foggy

I just finished my 2,500 words on the novel for the day. I am trying to keep that routine in place. I am later in finishing it today than usual, but I think that is in large part because I slept horribly last night and went back to sleep for a while after J went to work. I am getting to the part in the novel where some of the characters are going to start dying, and I am having a hard time figuring out how to portray that. I am kind of attached to these characters now, but it is necessary for the plot line. My word count for the rough draft is now 67,033. It is getting up there! I still have a lot of story line to cover, but I also tend to overwrite in the rough draft and then cut and make it tighter when I revise. Who knows how long this book will end up being. I guess it is kind of fitting that it is rather foggy and cloudy down here in my area as I write that - it feels like my view of how things will go with this novel is kind of foggy right now too - I am just going ahead with what I can see so far, and I will figure more out when it gets easier to see as I go along.
