I seem to be stuck on a pace of about 1,200 words, because that's what I finished with again tonight! My current work in progress is now up to about 3,300 words. I had imagined the piece going about 5,000 words, but the story is growing in scope and character, so I'm thinking this may end up being a slightly longer story.
I have a character in it now that I'm really enjoying...kind of an old-school mystery man stuck in modern times. There's no time travel involved here...it's just the vibe I'm getting from the character. And to think the character wasn't even in the original outline of the story! Sometimes these things just end up going on a path you don't expect!
