I'm beta reading friends manuscript, and she writes so fast that she doesn't put commas in as she writes and it makes my brain explode

I am jumping back into a different manuscript (which I refer to as Flower Prince WIP) while my Forest WIP is out with beta readers.
I was just going to read the 10k words I had to remember where I was up to, but instead I added 600 words to just the first chapter

Not only is using AI lazy and missing the whole point of writing, but it's also plagiarism?? Like, the models that these AI's use are trained on other people's (probably stolen) work???

i added a 2k word chapter from Nolan's pov and I accidentally gave him too much character development, which is a good thing, but now I need to change all his internal monologues for the next few chapters until they catch up to where his mind currently is

I'm 40 words away for 85k.
Every time I hit a milestone I am surprised, then I set another one and am surprised when I hit that too.
I don't wanna get my hopes up for 90k words, but maybe...

this draft I'm doing the smart thing, keeping notes about my characters to make sure i don't contradict myself later.

Other notes I had to make, who has a drivers license and what colour everyone hair was

Alright #WIPSnips community...
As 2025 is only a couple of days away, I'm curious, what are your writing goals for 2025?
I'd love to hear! And wonder if WIPSnips and the community can help support those goals in some way.
