I set an ambitious word count goal for that particular YA-WIP.
Because I want to be able to rough-draft a novel in less than three months.
Because this book genre seems to want to make a come-back, and the time to write it and sell it is NOW!
Because I had this story in mind for a while and it is really, really fun, and I love it.

Word count goal so far: 15 435 words

But I am falling nearly 10 000 words behind schedule… Argh!
