Awesome!!! So it sounds like you'll finish with more than 110K! (I apologize for giving you the addiction, but you'll now be checking your word count every time you write. 😀)
That is an impressive pace! I have a hard time getting 1000 words a day, but the experience here on Substack has helped tremendously. You inspired me to go back and see how many words I have written for this novel. I created a flat file and moved all the Substack posts into it. Then I stripped out the pictures, banners and extraneous text. It looks like thus far I have 58K words!
I have this bad habit of writing a chapter up, posting to Substack and making tweaks to that version before it gets published. That means that the published version is sometimes hundreds of pages longer than the original. But now you’ve got me thinking I should go back and calculate how many words I have so far. I wish Substack had a feature where you could just download a text version of your post stripped of advertising and pictures, so that you could manipulate the text easier.
Great atmospherics again, Daniel.
Wow!!! I can't wait to see this tied together in a single book!
Thank you so much, Jim. Ideally this would be the end of “Part 1” of a 2-part novel.

I'm the type who is obsessed with word count. I base my entire writing calendar off word count. 😀 I aim for 1,500-2,000 every day.
