I may have accidentally converted myself to a plotter because for the first time, I plotted every chapter, and I am already over 50,000. Now, do I like it all? No, definitely not. But I'm enjoying writing it, so that's a win in and of itself. I look forward to going back to it every day, because even with my word count, I'm only about 1/3 through the actual story.
Congrats, that's amazing! The enjoyment is what it's all about for me, so whether you get that by plotting or pantsing, that's a win for sure! Your novel sounds pretty epic! What genre is it? Mine is going to be more than 50k also (I expect to pass 50K tomorrow) but probably not much more than 60k.
Thank you! It's definitely hard to be objective about your own work. Prose I can fix, but for me the biggest problem is all the plot holes that will I will somehow need to spackle in the second draft.

@@CorriesStories that's awesome that you're also so close to 50k! my genre is romance, FMC has some baggage that needs to be explored!
I resonate with this so much! How terrible is too terrible? lol it's so hard to self assess sometimes. Great job on reaching these milestones!
