The Words: 1726 words today in two 15-minute sprints with my 15-year-old daughter. It occurred to me today that I’m not even a full day’s word count ahead, which is both uncommon for me anymore and a little scary. I have to be careful about my short days from now on.

The Story: Garend and the person who brought him to Newland talked a bit about the future today, and Garend finally got a chance to rest and reflect. I think it’s time to start brainstorming some actual events to happen once Garend makes it over the metaphorical threshold into Newland, which I may just jump forward to in the next day or two. Even I’m getting bored by what I’m writing.
