2,003 words today. Whew! I'm still (sort of) on track for NanoWrimo. This year I decided that I'd participate loosely in Nano, but that I won't beat myself up if I don't get my 1,700+ daily word count. So far I've been doing well for the last 3 days, but that'll change once Thanksgiving week rolls around. I made a deal with myself that my required daily words are 1,000, but that if I can, I'll shoot for more. Let's see how long I can go like this.
Anyway, tonight's chapter starred my boy criminal protag Day and his young friend Tess. Poor Tess. I make her go through so much crap. :) Also, I realized after working on a bit of exposition that I had left an entire state out of the Republic (in other words, the dystopic western U.S. in LEGEND): Wyoming. Whatever happened to Wyoming? It's like Nevada and South Dakota just swallowed it up in my brain and I completely forgot about it. Sorry, Wyoming-ans out there. You're back in. :)

Congratulations on your word count. It's so difficult to keep up with NaNo, sometimes. Good luck!
Thanks Emy! Yeah, it's hard to keep up and I've never succeeded before. :) My fingers are not speedy enough!
Was reading your DeviantArt journal, but I can't comment there without becoming a member, so my comment's coming here ;-)
So awesome to hear that you sold UK rights AND it's coming out the same time as in the US! I imagine it was a UK/Commonwealth deal, which means it'll be coming here to Australia, too :-) Yes, I am selfish ;-)
Hi Tez! Thanks so much--and yeah, I keep reminding myself to copy/paste my dA posts over here too, for non-dA folks to see. :) Thank you so much for the kind words! Yes, it was UK/Commonwealth, so Australia is on the list too! (I should probably update that on my blog) Are you an Aussie? If so, I am intensely jealous. :)
Indeed, I'm in Oz! Bizarro world wherein summer starts December 1st ;-)
Omg! Well, I'm intensely jealous. :) I know another girl who lives in Sydney. Right now it's chilly in LA and I long for the summer days you guys must be having!
