Let me make it clear that I did not actually write 23,000 words today. I just haven't managed to make a word count post in a little while, which means I had some catching up to do. There; now consider me caught up. And since I have no further travel this month, I should be able to stay caught up. And that's terrifying.
Not counting the time needed to revise and process edits, I should finish this book in between four and ten days; probably somewhere in the seven to eight day range. It's been harder than I expected, because it's...it's like graduating high school. It's not just math class, it's the LAST math class. It's not just lunch, it's the LAST lunch.
It's not just a zombie. It's the LAST zombie.
But I shall persevere. The end is in sight, and on the other side of it is revision and rewriting and also buckling down on Ashes of Honor, which will be so refreshing you don't even know. All I have to do is get there.
All I have to do is rise.

Rick's wife Lisa had a reservoir condition.
And he said in FEED she took her own life.
But did she really? Or were The Bad Guys behind it and just made it look that way?
The book is not supposed to randomly whisper questions in my ear while I'm doing other things, Seanan.
Books are supposed to talk to you when you're reading them -- not a week and a half after the fact!
