New novel

I'm working on my first middle grade novel and it's really fun. It's also hard work writing from an 11 year old boy's point of view. I have never written a novel where the main character is a boy but I do have a son the same age. I think this book is going to turn out really well. So far I have written 1,059 words! My goal is 20,000 to 30,000 words.
