Asterisk because I had to do a considerable amount of revising the numbers. I was looking at my wordcount, and the numbers were off. Like, seriously off. I had written over two thousand words, but the counter wasn’t advancing by the same amount. So I went looking, and I discovered that some of the text wasn’t checked off as being part of the final text. When I told it to include those parts, wordcount went up to over twenty-seven thousand.

Not a great day for writing. I blame Daylight Savings Time. I also need to catch up.

Really do need a good buffer, because this is my anniversary weekend. We’re not doing anything too spectacular, but I obviously have other things than writing to attend to tomorrow.

20% done already! Huzzah! …I’m gonna need that buffer, later.

So far, so good…

I cheated a touch on this: I wrote a bunch of stuff when I thought I was doing a short story, and not Chapter One of the new book. So we can hit the ground running!
