I actually did it. 50,000 words. Well, as of this writing, 50,171. And I still have two days left.
I plan on continuing the story. There is still a bunch left to write. And it's been fun. I want to see how it ends.
I'll probably do a full write-up of the process later, but right now, I'm going to word work (I left the typo in, as I found it amusing) on some website stuff I've been putting off.
