I have done it. I have crossed the 50,000 word threshold for my upcoming book, Midnight Playground. I am writing daily and am getting close to having it finished. I am so excited and nervous all at the same time. I really feel like this book will be my "gateway book" (insert smiley face emoticon here) so that I can write full time and finish the Transporter series and Purgatory and write whatever else comes to mind. But for right now, at this very moment, I am so excited that I crossed that milestone of 50,000 words. Onward!
