Well, I hit the 60,000 word milestone for my WIP, John Dunn, Heart of a Zulu. I wanted to get there by last Friday, but it's only four days later, so I can be content with my progress on that. And Cetshwayo, the first born son of King Mpande has finally been crowned king of all Zululand.
To his credit, he never tried to kill his father. He killed a lot of his brothers, but he left the old man alone. And when King Mpande died it was a natural death. A lot of things happened in the meantime, which kept the story moving along.
And it's historical FICTION, so I threw in some things to embellish the action. It's a novel after all, I want it exciting. And there is a lot of that.
So I figure I'm about two thirds done. I'm targeting 90,000 words, but that's not a certain thing. Once I get all the events in, and the conclusion, then it will be done. Of course.
