Mentioned in a previous post, I’ve now officially lost my contest with Andrew. I didn’t reach my 100k words and the novel didn’t take off. It’s still sitting comfortably at 13k words, waiting for me to come back to it. This isn’t the first writing challenge I’ve lost, but I’m going to make it the last.
