Hit 50,000 words on my novel draft last night and I'm shook
I've been writing this sci-fi thing for like 7 months after work in my tiny studio, just chipping away on a laptop on my coffee table. Last night I hit 50,000 words exactly and I honestly didn't think I'd get past 10,000. That's longer than a lot of published books I've read. Has anyone else hit a random milestone like that and had it change how you saw your project?

Oh man, that's huge. I remember when I hit 40,000 on my own thing a couple years back, sitting there at 2am with my eyes burning and suddenly realizing I had actually written something real. It changes everything when you cross that invisible line, like the project stops being a hobby and starts being an actual book you're gonna finish. Hope you got to treat yourself to something nice after that.
