I'm a day late for this...but alas, here it is:

What I accomplished:
*Book 2: currently 216,727 words (up 4,494 from last week) and 42 chapters; 3 more to write (at least).
*And discovered an idea for a Novella featuring a character we meet in Chapter 13

This week’s focus:
*Write at least one of those three new chapters for Book 2
