Also also me, after looking up how many crew members the ship would need: "Okay, cool, but is there a ship that's the size that I want that only needs, say....4 people?"

Reality: "Uh....NO."

Me: "I'm going to write a book that takes place on an antique wooden sailing vessel!"

Also me: knows nothing about ships.

And another one for the playlist. Icelandic artist Axel Flóvent's gorgeous "Your Ghost."

Now onto my playlist that I'm slowing putting together for my current , which takes place in . Found this fantastic song, "Into the Dark" by Icelandic duo Between Mountains. Enjoy! youtu.be/Tp4AHG8OkRg

I'm only at 7,538 words total, so it's not like this is going to give me an edge or anything, lol. Should be at 26,667 words by now. But that's fine, because my actual goal is getting these first 3 chapters written and polished to send out as a proposal by the end of the month. And I have one chapter left to draft, so that, at least, should be doable.

If you accidentally end up using over 700 words to write a "quick summary" of a scene before actually writing said scene, you should totally be able to count those words as part of your word count. (And I did).

Wow, I haven't had a 3k writing day in a very long time! Feels wonderful!

Debating whether I should attempt JuNoWriMo to get my first three chapters written to send to my agent. My record for finishing nanos isn't great, but I'm not getting ANY writing done right now, so maybe it will provide a little motivation?

Do people do writing sprints on here? I might need to do some of that tomorrow if anyone's game. No promises though. It's going to depend on if I'm feeling better. But hopefully? I'm behind where I'd like to be.
