    Congratulations, reaching 100,000 words is huge! I'm currently outlining my novel and am hoping to finish it in early March. Definitely celebrating the small wins with outlining. I'm just focusing in on the scenes and writing down as much detail and information as the story provides me with to help when I draft it.

    Little win I did recently, is I started drafting again after 2 1/2 weeks of brainstoming! So excited to be doing it; and things are puzzling themselves into place. :D (Also; have been using the technique of side-by-side editing scenes I wrote before brainstorming and loving that.)
