Over the Top

Well, I passed 125,000 words today, so it's time to revise my total word count for Ancient Secrets. I think, ultimately, 125,000 will be pretty accurate because I have words to cut even though I have more to add. I just don't want to do any cutting until I have the rough draft complete and intact.

So, I think, I'm going to revise to 140,000 words. Hopefully, another 15,000 words will give me enough room to work.

Today was my daughter's 18th birthday. She went to see War of the Worlds with friends. We had sugar free cake and ice cream tonight in celebration. It was great. She had a nice day. I'm glad. :)

We've been watching Independence Day together tonight while I added to my word count for the day.

Hey Miss J... glad that you and your daughter had a good day. Wish her the happiest of birthdays from the Q & I crowd.

And your word counts are ultra-impressive. You so rock....

Thanks. :)

I'm sooo slow in responding to comments these days. I feel like I'm going in slow motion...body and brain both.

How's the writing going?

It really is a great age.

I asked her how it felt to be old and she said the same way it felt yesterday. :)

She likes being 18. :)

Thanks. Today's word count won't be so good, but that's par for the course.

How's your writing going?
