Yesterday I passed 250 handwritten pages (actually, way more because I haven't numbered wholly sequentially. But I actually wrote '250' in the upper right hand corner.)
Yesterday I wrote 2000+ words, surpassing 34,000 for the month of November, and 90,000 in total.
It's nearly done.
I've spent rather more academic/work time on this than I had originally planned (heck, I hadn't planned any of this, to be honest).
But weekend before last, I received an invitation which made all this time and work justified. I have been invited to be one of the keynote speakers at the British Society of Aesthetics Workshop: Fiction Writing for Philosophers in June. It's a two day thing; on the first day, the invited speakers will give semi-autobiographical/personal talks on a topic at the intersection of writing fiction and philosophy. On the second day, we speakers will meet individually with the participants of the workshop to discuss a piece of work that they will have submitted to us in advance.
One little invitation, and all the time and work I've spent when I "should" have been doing "real" work is justified.
I am doing exactly what I should be doing.
