The Words: 1500 words total for the day. I’m not going for more than par every day this month, but I didn’t expect to come in shy of 1667 so early in the month. Today was a full day, though, and I didn’t get to writing until late, so I’m happy with what I got from the 2 15-minute sprints I did this evening.

The Story: Garend has a lot of questions for his visiting stranger about Newland, but she’s not really giving him the answers he’s looking for. She is, however, giving him enough to be intrigued and at least consider leaving Pithea and going to Newland. Considering that my plan for this month’s writing was to actually show Newland, it’s taking me a while to get there, but that’s okay. These discussions are good for me to get down anyway.
