The Words: 1835 words today in a single, half-hour sprint this evening with my daughter. I’m not more than a single day’s word count ahead, which is good, because I have a Thanksgiving event coming up in a few days, and though I definitely plan to make sure I get some writing that day, I don’t know how much I’ll have time for.

Total word count: 36,774
