Today I wrapped up my latest outline and then started in discovery writing some nonsense about a D&D-esque lich with a corporate bent who needs to rebuild his business from the ground up after some adventurers wreck his latest venture and he gets fired by the evil overlord. I have hit 43,434 out of 43,334 words. That is a full one hundred words ahead of quota, and hopefully my dental appointment tomorrow won’t interfere with my ability to stay on top of that.
Between the clearly comedic nature of my current story and the short story potpourri that the project has turned into, it should be easy to wrap things up in an absurdist hurry if I hit 50,000 with no actual conclusion in sight, so I should be good on that front.
