Wahoo; just dropping in to celebrate that the 2nd book of my WIP paranormal romance duology just reached 50,000 words - it's a novel! I'm not finished yet, but this made me happy.

I finished my book today! First draft, but still. It ended up just over 53k, so I'm pretty pleased with that. :DWell done on everyone else's great totals!

This book seems to be coming along nicely! I'm super excited because it's something new and different for me! And, it may not be a standalone after all lol. Well it will be able to stand alone but I have a couple of really awesome supporting characters who may just be screaming at me to tell their story as well! Lol!
