Lizardfic the novel is currently 15,635 words. According to my spreadsheet metrics, I’m 19.54% of the way towards an 80,000 word goal, and will reach 80,000 words on May 5, but the novel itself is guesstimated to end up being 89,646 words, which would make me...

This is one of them. I was last at work on December 21. I’m not expected back until after New Year’s. You may now hate me. 😉 Sadly, this is not ending up being insane amounts of writing and working out. But I had a very busy year, and probably need the...
