Getting there

I passed 40,000 words this morning. Most of which, it appears, is either exposition or notes to myself, which I write in all caps so I can find them later. So I'll have a string of dialogue interrupted by YOU MIGHT WANT TO SAY SOMETHING ABOUT THUS-AND-SUCH HERE or MAYBE YOU WANT TO MOVE THIS PART UP. I'm pretty sure I'll hit the 50,000 mark by the end of the month but how much of it is actual novel, I don't know.
