Posted on I'm pretty sure I'm going to run out of novel beofre I hit 50,000 words. So I've been taking spare moments here and there to think about how I'm going to flesh out some of my earlier scenes to up the word count. It won't just be padding; there's plenty of room for growth. But I'm not even halfway through, and I anticipate getting to the end within another 10,000 words. That's a bit earlier than I'd planned. Good luck with your plotting
