Word count -- Discount Armageddon.

Current stats:

Words: 3,893.
Total words: 12,873.
Reason for stopping: chapter four is ready to hit the dance floor.
Music: all Counting Crows, all day long.
Lilly: sound asleep on the filing cabinets.

The game's afoot, the gang's all here, and we've finally managed to break 10,000 words. I'm only two pages shy of breaking fifty pages, too, which is always an awesome feeling (second only to breaking a hundred -- every time a book reaches a hundred pages, I have the serious urge to throw a massive and debauched revel). I'm incredibly pleased with the way things are progressing, and I'm even managing to stick reasonably close to the series proposal outline. Which is something of a miracle.

Coming up with the bumper quotes that begin every chapter is far too much fun to be actually legal. They're just random little bits of 'family wisdom,' but they're awesome. The nice thing about bumper quotes is that as long as they fit the story and set the mood you're looking for, they don't have to flow; they're like darlings in amber, yours forever.

I estimate this book at two chapters from becoming substantially more difficult to write, as the heavy-duty plot kicks in, but it's all so much fun that I'm even looking forward to that.
