Word Count and Counting
I’m at 17,717 words on my cozy mystery which should end up being close to 70,000. I’m making slow progress, but at least it’s progress. I took the advice of Randy Ingermanson and allowed my self to be bad. My last couple of chapters have been bad! But at least the skeleton of the story…

As I type this, I’m hoping the ceiling above me doesn’t come crashing down. Boom-da-da-boom! There are two girls in the room above, my daughters, who are dancing a jig. An Irish step dance.
