			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I am up to about 52,000 words now. I am amazed that my other novel is over 80K. That seems insane. I&#8217;m ok with sticking nearer to the 60K mark. Though that is easier to do with a YA novel.</p>
<p>At this point I am having troubles ending my story. I feel like I need to edit more before I can end it. Not for the typical reasons, but instead because I want to make sure I end it properly. Have you ever had that happen? Or do you think I&#8217;m just procrastinating?</p>
<p>Regardless I am still in love with this story. Now if I can just find a way to end it and come up with a pitch I&#8217;ll be in good shape. Good shape to edit that is!</p>
