Words: ??/4,072.<br />Total words: 77,100.<br />Reason for stopping: it's time to put pants on and do the grocery shopping.<br />The cats: Lilly, orange cat tree; Alice, bed; Thomas, hallway floor.<br />Music: Little Big Town.<br /><br />The odd format for the "number of words written today" section is because I've missed the last several posts, and I only know that I wrote 4,072 words today. But I don't want to give the impression so that this was a 12k day, and so I format it oddly to show that off. Hooray!<br /><br />It's a little weird working on this book when book six just came out. For one thing, this is the first time ever that a book has been released while its sequel was still being written. So having <i>Ashes of Honor</i> so well-received has just upped the stakes on me. I think that's a good thing. I'm not going to change my story to make any specific person feel better, but I can motivate myself to earn those reviews again. Also, I can make Toby's life a living hell in the process. Everybody wins.<br /><br />I will now get dressed and go out, and when I get home tonight, I'll see about finishing "Married In Green."<br /><br />It's a good life.
