I got up to 17,000ish last night. I'm pretty happy with my pace, considering that I started on the 5th, rather than the 1st. And my heroine has already discovered the first skeleton in the closet. It will hardly be the last...

I missed all of yesterday as well.



However, I have been working well this afternoon. I've done almost 2,000 words in the last hour and a half. I will be back on track by the time I go to bed tonight.

Please tell me it's a literal skeleton in a literal closet! Please?

Unfortunately, no. But, they haven't said where the body actually is... For all I know, it might very well wind up in a closet. And, her dress was in someone's closet, who gave the dress to someone else, who is wearing it, without knowing that it belonged to a dead woman. A woman who caused, let's say, complications among the family. And a woman who looks enough like the newcomer to disturb someone's troubled conscience...

Does that count?

Update: 22,000+ now. As I hinted at above, the cracks are beginning to show. It isn't going to be one big happy family for much longer...

I submitted the finished file today. Lots of warmfuzzies with all of the praise they shower on the winners.

Nicely done, mate! Any chance you'd upload it here as well?

I have 30,500 words to go. (My friend surprise visited me from Florida, so I spent a full week doing fun things that were not writing...)

I'm still going to try to finish.

I could, yeah. How would I go about it, though? 54,404 words makes for a pretty long post, and I didn't break it for chapters at all.

Okay, here goes, then...
Just a word of warning, it starts out slow and a bit sappy, and the ending is a bit rushed, IMO, but, then, I'm used to having a lot longer to write, re-write and edit whatever I'm doing.

I hit 15,000 and got real busy doing other things. However, I think I have 15,000 really good words. I definitely intend to finish it.
