I don't mind the sun sometimes

Here’s today's progress on my fin de siecle gothic epistolary about Lizzie Borden fighting Cthulhu with her trusty axe, now with Bonus! ghosts, guilt, girlfriends, arcane science, and an accidental villain who's losing his mind and his humanity in tandem:
Project: Maplecroft
Deadline: October 15, 2013
New words written: 2436
Present total word count: 62,241 words



Things accomplished in fiction: The doctor and Lizzie were on cleanup duty, and it sucked.

Next up: Emma weighs in on Nance's condition, and the new-found alliance with the doctor. Perhaps some bits and pieces re: what the villain has been up to. He's not speaking for himself right now, but other people are talking about him - that's for damn sure.

Things accomplished in real life: Daily jaunt around the neighborhood with the dog; started some housework; lunch with the husband; little bit of yard clean-up, though the planting I'd planned will wait for tomorrow (it'll likely freeze tonight). Next up: Laundry.

Other: Much better word count today. It catches me up to square one, after the weekend's lost momentum. Happy camper, over here.

Pet-related other: Puppy break.

TV-related other: Six episodes into Ripper Street, and we're still really enjoying it. What a fun show, I swear. (Still haven't started the new Tomb Raider. These two things are not unrelated.)

Number of fiction words so far this year: 58,114
