The Words: 1670 words total for the day. I almost made today a short day, since I got a late start and am tired this evening. I figured I’d do a single 15-minute sprint, but when that got me just shy of 1000 words, I figured it wouldn’t take much more time to get to par, so I wrote until I hit another 667 words. (I wrote this post last night and then forgot to publish it. I don’t think I’ve ever done that before, but maybe it just goes to show how tired I was last night.)

The Story: Garend has finally made it to Newland, which was the whole point of this month’s writing—to explore Newland with Garend. Technically, he’s outside of Newland, because he has to be evaluated first to be allowed into Newland. But I’m already in completely uncharted waters now, so this should be a fun rest of the month.
