Word count -- The Mourning Edition.

Current stats:

Words: 3,090.
Total words: 0.
Reason for stopping: need to eat dinner before I eat the cat.
Music: mostly Children of Eden and Dr. Horrible.
Lilly: nowhere to be seen, which should probably worry me.

How do you know I'm in the middle of editing three books and feeling the specter of free time looming over me in a dark and spooky fashion? I start a new book, of course. (Honestly, I should probably have been spending the time working on Lycanthropy, but as I spent the entire day at a funeral, I think I can be excused a little cathartic zombie-time.)

It took a little thought to really figure out how to slide back into the dark, slightly twisted dystopia inhabited by the Mason twins and the Kellis-Amberlee virus (coming soon to a CDC installation near you!), but once I got the rhythm back, I got it back. I blinked and it had been ten pages and a couple of thousand words. Not that three thousand words means much when the first book finished at roughly 150,000, but hey, every little bit counts.

I love my zombies. They make it better.
