I will still remember when you've long forgotten me

Here's today's progress on my poltergeist-plagued hotel horror story, wherein everyone’s favorite steampunk Texas Ranger joins forces with a goth-as-hell gunslinger-turned-padre who may (or may not) have supernatural powers:
Project: Jacaranda
Deadline: March 31, 2014
New words written: 5003 (over the weekend)
Present total word count: 26,106



Things accomplished in fiction: Interviewed everyone at the hotel, spotted a terrible pattern; killed off one more guest; chased another one off - though there's no telling how far she'll get; finished section 3 out of 5 - so I'm about 2/3 through the story, huzzah. (Give or take.)

Next up: Lock down the hotel for the big storm, because baby, it's here.

Things accomplished in real life: Daily jaunts around the neighborhood with the dog; grocery shopping; post office; cleaned house; had friends over last night for shenanigans; managed some business stuff (yes, over the weekend); had a temporary dog-guest off and on, then sent him home.

Other: That's a cumulative total, and I wish it was higher - but this week I'm going to buckle the hell down, I swear. I don't really have a choice.

Number of fiction words so far this year: 18,526
