The word count now is 55,248. More important to me than the word count is the fact that I have reviewed, cleaned up and filled in the story for the first third of the first draft. That feels like I am keeping up to speed. Increasing the number of words is no longer my priority. Instead I am working to make sure that these are the words I want.
Seriously, don't the two guys in the photo look like Mormon missionaries? I say that kindly, having known some Mormon missionaries when I lived in Chicago. The monastery building where I lived had formerly belonged to the LDS, and they still owned some houses on our street. Some of these served as residences for young men doing their missionary service. When I worked downtown, a couple of them often got on the bus I was riding on the way home. One was particularly interested in whatever I was reading at the time, and we chatted a lot. He had been working in Chicago for a year or so, and he seemed pretty relaxed. His companion had just arrived and always looked a bit frightened, whether or me or the city, I wasn't sure.

They do look like JWs. :-)
Word count's looking great!! You're at the fun part of the writing now- analyzing the plot to make sure the gaps are filled in. Of course, if you leave a few questions unanswered you can always write a sequel!!!!
Or I could just have everyone walk away and then the scene shifts and we see a pair of eyes peering out of a bush. The eyes disappear and a cloaked figure is running away.
Dun-dunnnnn!
Okay, maybe that will go better in the made-for-TV movie version.
