happyWords: 3,674.
Total words: 50,660.
Reason for stopping: finished chapter fourteen.
Music: a lot of angry goth-punk. I'm in a mood.
Lilly and Alice: sprawling atop high things, dozing.
Progress continues! Discount Armageddon has now shattered the 50,000 word mark, which is always a milestone for me, since by that point, I'm so fully committed that it isn't even funny. Also, under my current estimate of length, I'm within 3,000 words—or one more day of really solid writing—from being to the halfway point. That makes me incredibly happy. Since I have three books going right now (by which I mean "three books I'm really actively writing, as opposed to just plinking at"), anything that makes it seem like one of my babies is preparing for bed is just delightful.
Things that this book contains: ballroom dance. Cryptozoology. Snark. Free running. A strip club with a funny name. Mixed drinks. High heels. Snares. Throwing knives. Talking mice. Illegal sub-lets. Coffee shops. Math. Things this book does not contain: vampires. All told, I'm pretty happy with my "have" to "have not" ratio, especially since Verity keeps kicking people in the head.
Life is good.

Also: Picked up Rosemary and Rue at our local Borders! I was half afraid they wouldn't have it. Might be a while before I get a chance to read it, actually, but I'll review it and link you when I do!
Also-also: I'm looking forward to your zombie trilogy like Christmas.

My zombie trilogy is basically proof that I now control the universe. The universe needs more candy corn.
