So far, I've only written ~5000 words, which isn't too bad considering that I started three months late, but I think I'd just give in and try again next year with German, in which I'm at a shaky B2 level, and such a challenge might be exactly what I need to "consolidate" my B2-level proficiency.
5K words is brilliant! Don't beat yourself up about it. The challenge is there to help you progress not to freak you out about numbers, etc. If you're improving then that is what counts isn't it?
