You're going straight to hell for wanted acts of sin

Here's today's progress on my witchy art-deco horror novel about Lizzie Borden thirty years after her parents' deaths - now featuring ghosts and non-ghosts alike, anti-Catholic conspiracy nuts, supernatural political shenanigans, the mafia, and a Bonus! space-worshiping murder cult hiding behind the KKK:
Project: Chapelwood
Deadline: October 1, 2014
New words written: 2230 (good)
Present total word count: 10,058



Things accomplished in fiction: Got about halfway through a very interesting conversation. Stopped where I did, because it'll be easy to pick it back up tomorrow, and also I'm hella-tired.

Next up: Finish the story of the good priest's murder, and visit his grave.

Things accomplished in real life: Neighborhood jaunt with dog; lots of email; some boring writer business; went to the post office; went to the bank; went to Walgreens to pick up some prescriptions; went to the grocery store; nabbed lunch at Taco Bell because I deserved it.

Other: Today sucks. I pulled something in my neck a couple of days ago, and last night it was really bad. I spent half the night popping Advil and lying on a heating pad - and barely slept at all. It's better this morning, but I'm absolutely wiped out and frankly, it's a miracle I got this much done.

Upshot other: But it's another good word count, keeping me above water on my 1k/day average goals - and bringing me up to 10k for the week, which would be amazing if I could keep it up. Life gets in the way sometimes, so I can't count on it every week, but I'll take it when I can get it.

Number of fiction words so far this year: 43,469
