The Words: 1701 words today shortly before bedtime. It’s a good thing I realized yesterday that I don’t have a large enough lead to take more short days unless absolutely necessary, or I probably would have cut today short. I can’t really afford that, though, with holiday events coming up.

The Story: Because of trying to get the words out quickly tonight, today’s writing mostly consisted of a conversation between Garend and the person who brought him to Newland. She’s telling him a lot of things about his ancestry that he never knew (and that I didn’t know either).

Total word count: 31,271
