Haha, I got within 70 words of completing my year-long goal of 365k words this past week and DIDN’T write the rest. Go me.

Everything’s progressing pretty well up to this point. I’ve hit a good stride in Savage Duty and I’m running up on the end of Shape of Family, so I’m excited to be in the last quarter of the year and completing stories and working on new stories. If I can just keep it up, I’ll have three novels, two novellas, and a dozen or so short stories to show for this year of writing. That’s pretty badass any way you cut it.

Until next week, you’re a leaf on the wind, watch how you soar!
