November 1, 2008 - I start working on my manuscript. I have no plot, no characters - nothing more than a single scene in my head. And it is a very, very short scene. A scenette.
November 30, 2008 - Thanks in part to Chris Baty, my "novella" is 50,000 words closer to being complete.
January 2009 - After a month's break (much needed after thirty days of hardcore writing), I start working on my manuscript again. I realize there's no way it's going to be finished anytime soon.
March 2009 - The manuscript is christened The Circular Path.
May 2009 - The Circular Path hits novel proportions. I'm hopelessly far from finishing. I actually just hit the halfway mark, if I'm being honest.
August 8, 2009 - Over 85,000 words. Over twenty-three chapters. Approximately 147 pages.
And guess what? I'm really and truly ALMOST FINISHED! Hallelujah, and praise the Lord!
