We have a novel. . .

I just crossed the 70K threshold. Wolfbreed has officially crossed (my) minimum threshold for novel length. While there's still 30,000 words left to reach my initial estimate, the word-count is no longer my barometer of completion. We're at the point where the story is going to determine when it is finished. It is wrapping up a little quicker than I expected, right now we're about to reach the nadir for just about all my major characters, evil is nearly triumphant, and— needless to say— all Hell is about to break loose.
