Project: Brimstone

New words written: 2016 (haha)
Present total word count: 34,669



Things Accomplished in Fiction: Had the world's worst nightmare and woke up to find that something bad happened while we were asleep.

Things Accomplished in Real Life: Neighborhood jaunt with the dog; lunch with a friend; went to grocery store; went to Walgreens to grab a prescription; found out we are officially going to be a Nielsen ratings household (woot woot!); swung by the bank to deposit a check.

Other: When in doubt, bring in a man with a gun. Or a dream-dude with a gun. Maybe it's a flame-thrower. Close enough.

Dog Other: Quinnie helped me unpack from my trip to Michigan the other day.
