Word count -- BLACKOUT.

Words: 4,229.
Total words: 49,188.
Reason for stopping: end of chapter nine, time for Eureka.
Music: random shuffle, lots of Counting Crows.
Lilly and Alice: I'm really not sure, which makes me nervous.

I'm finally back to work on Blackout, which has been patiently waiting for me to finish with those silly fairies and come back to my beloved zombie apocalypse. Don't worry, baby, I didn't forget about you, I just needed to finish mopping up the release debris from Rosemary and Rue before I could pay the proper attention. Hopefully, tonight's dose of sweet love and mad virology has convinced you that my affections are still true.

I sort of wanted to keep going until I hit fifty thousand words, but the fact of the matter is, chapter nine is over, and chapter nine ends exactly when and where it needs to end. Anything more would just be word count for word count's sake, and that's not fair to anyone. Besides, my characters would kill me if I forced them to keep going right now.

I love my zombie distopia. I love the Masons. And I love Kellis-Amberlee.

I feel so good about this book right now.

totally off topic, but if you see a box of Pumpkin Spice candy corn (company name of Zachary) on your grocery store shelves - it really doesn't taste like pumkpin spice so much as it does like honey spice with a vague hint of pumpkin. I like it, but I'm a honey fan; YMMV.
Huh. Thanks for the tip!
