Just completed another milestone for my most ambitious story. It's something I started writing in July of last year (I have a lot of unfinished old stories), and have been working on and off but fairly steadily every since. I hadn't intended to talk about it, but having just reached one of my milestones, I though it sounded like a good idea to keep some sort of record of the progress I'm making on it.

Well, I'm done with my notes. I've finally finished up 68558 words of notes on my main plot thread, just a hair shy of my 70,000 word goal, giving a total of 150,008 words between all of the major story threads, not including secondary story notes, which amounts to another couple thousand.
