Journal mcgrew's Journal: Milestones 2
Last weekend Mars, Ho! passed the magic 40,000 words, the number of words necessary for a science fiction work to be a novel.
Tuesday it massed the even more magical 42042 words; that's the number for marijuana glued to the answer to the question of life, the universe, and everything. More importantly, it's the exact number of words in Nobots. As of this writing Mars, Ho! is 47,000 words. I don't think I'll reach my 100k goal, there are only half dozen more chapters to write.
Oddly, Mars, Ho! is turning into a genre that I usually don't enjoy -- horror. "Drugula". But Knolls will later be glad he has a boat full of dangerous monsters.
The next five chapters have been written, which are followed by a few that aren't written yet, followed by ten written that go almost at the end of the book.
Yes, I've become obsessed with this thing. Tomorrow, Knolls gets a surprise that you've probably already guessed.

Nice job! That's a lot of sustained effort (far more than most people can accomplish) and it shows. Looking forward to the rest of the story!

Thanks! I'm getting ready to post chapter thirty in a minute. I screwed up in this post, though, I forgot I already posted the chapter where Knolls finds that Green is Destiny's dad.
