I haven’t done a word count since January, so I figured I’d check in again and run da numbers on the ol’ “novel” : 121,908 And it’s only 3/5 of the way even marginally drafted. Or something. Each word a priceless GEM! Woo. I fucked up my back yesterday somehow so I am staying home […]

My “book” now has exactly 26,000 37,000 words. Seems like a lot. And I feel like the story has only just now gotten started. Also, Simon caught Sasha’s cold. Cat colds are ridiculously contagious. Could have something to do with how they lick each other all day.
