   I got involved in a novel.  I have passed the 120k word mark.  I have complete   
   or semi-complete novel mss. around, but none of them have ever passed 80 to   
   100k length before.  A rough plot outline exists in my head, but it is   
   impossible to guess the    
   final word count.  The voice isn't complex, so it is fairly easy for me to   
   write, to generate at least several thousand words per day, but the end is not   
   in sight.  We can assume the end will pass 200k.  There are a lot of reasons   
   that it will never be    
   published.  I don't know why I'm doing it.  I suppose I get possessed by an   
   idea.
