Re-doing a short story as a full-length novel is less hard than I'd imagined. It helps that Kestrel is so much fun to write! She's already used the phrase 'barking-moonbat bulls**t' to describe the actions of a particularly stupid woman... I don't know where that one came from but you dream up some wild stuff at 4am. :D

At the moment the total word count is 36,258 not sure how many words I have written today but I am going to keep writing and update my count later tonight!
The total goal is 70,000.
Writing but also have edited 6 chapters of Beautiful Sacrifice and I am waiting for the rest of the book to come back from the editor so I can get the ARCs out to people hopefully by Monday.
AMAZING word counts everyone!! Here are some ❤️️❤️️❤️️ for you all!!!
Yeah, when I keep myself off social media and playing around on the internet I can write. My husband also had the day off yesterday. I basically said, "Watch the kids." That helps immensely!
