Clocking in at just over 30,000 words! And that is 30,000 words of pure awesomeness … ok so if you take out all the that’s, had’s, very’s, unessential prepositions and adverbs and such it’s probably more like 28,000 …BUT… when you go back in and change all my telling to showing you’ll add at least another 5,000. So in all retrospect I’m at 33,000 words. That makes sense, right?

So I went to my first writers’ group tonight and had very positive feedback on my prologue and first chapter. One woman even went as far as to say my prologue was “Powerful” (Hopeful in a heart stopping make you sit back and say ‘wow’ way, not in an Oh my word she did not really right that! kind of way). So I’m feeling really good about things today.

Have I mentioned I’m in love with my novel? Cuz I totally am!!!
