I'm halfway there

I have crossed the 50,000 word mark on the worse thing I have ever written. So I'm half-way done. I expect writing on this to slow down (and have, in fact, planned on such a thing). There are 18 chapters outlined so far. My original plan was for 20 chapters. That's what the goal word count (100,000) is for, with each chapter consisting of 2 scenes. So far I've been sticking to that template in the initial draft. I think I know how this is going to end. I might go ahead and outline out those last two chapters before too much longer.

Once I get to about April, I expect I'll start using my daily word counts to go back in and start editing. I often edit before I finish the whole work. I'm holding off doing it here because I want as much of the main story line done as I can get. At the same time, as my daily word goals decrease, I'll get frustrated if I can only write a couple hundred words at a time on the main story line. I'm still working on where the balance point is. That's why I'm doing a terrible story for this. Who cares if I never make it something good? That's not the point.

Also, I have discovered that all the years of reading fanfiction have really influenced how I write sex scenes. I have to say its for the better. I can tell the difference even if no one else can't.
