The Words: 1700 words total for the day, much smoother than yesterday. I had more free time this evening and did a 15-minute sprint to start with, using the Sprinter site. Then I switched to word goal instead of time and set it for 700 words, since that’s how far away I was from the daily goal of 1667 words and called it a day.

The Story: Garend has made the arduous decision to go to Newland. He’s finally been enticed enough by the person who came from there to try to convince him to go back with her. He’s not exactly happy about it, though, since he feels sad (and not a little guilty) leaving behind some people who had become special to him. But the benefits are too good to pass up.

I think that tomorrow I’m going to have to finally dive into Newland, which I’ve been avoiding, and not just for the last 4 days. For years, really.
