   A year ago I stopped writing my book at page 85. Before I decided to resume writing late last week, I had no clue of where to take these characters and what to do with them.
   
   A week and 88 pages later, I am confident of the material and plan that will make up the middle portion of this tale.
   
   However, looking at the current word and page count I am not sure this story can be contained in one book.
   
   I have begun Part Six, but am tempted to work on cleaning up everything that I already written and starting a new volume.
   
   Cleaning up spelling and grammar, which are my worst skills (and I thought it was a good idea to write a book). Cleaning up plot holes and stiff language. Redacting excessive bits of prose.
   
   To the two people who might be sadistic enough to read my rough work, please be patient. I am trying to make my story as good as it can be. I might spend a few days fine tooth combing everything more than once.
   
   Then again, it's all just for fun. Just a short little trip to a completely uninspired bit of escapist fantasy. Nothing original, nothing meaningful, just a goofy story to pass time. Just...
   
   39,768 WORDS!
   
   I'll be back after I get some more coffee.
   
   (Parts 1-3 are already on my blog linked in my bio. Parts 4-5 are coming very soon.)

     @coolboymew I am writing in a document that is formatted like a novel. So word count is probably a better indication of progress. I know that I was at about ~25,000 words maybe some time a day or two at the beginning of resuming writing.
     
     Hard to tell. I had some of Part 4 that I had started, but I deleted it all to start with a creatively blank slate.
     
     Sometimes a writers best friend are the words, "Some time later."
     
     Then again, it could be 20,000 words of pure shit that I have put to paper.
