Only came outside to watch the night fall with the rain

Here’s today's progress on my fin de siecle gothic epistolary, now with Bonus! ghosts, guilt, and the threat of elder gods in the aftermath of two gruesome unsolved murders:
Project: Maplecroft
Deadline: None at present
New words written: 1354
Present total word count: 31,106 words



Things accomplished in fiction: MOAR MURDERINGS. [:: throws confetti ::]

Things accomplished in real life: Daily jaunt around the neighborhood with the dog; a little leftover housework cleanup; not much else. Have some errands to run now, so I'm calling it an early work day. Besides, it's Saturday and I've logged over 1000 words for about the twelfth day in a row. I'm prepared to cut myself a little slack.

Other: My Write Every Day Dammit campaign is actually going pretty well! And no, the word counts haven't been earth-shattering daily, but the accumulation feels pretty good.

Number of fiction words so far this year: 27,199
