A post of mostly metrics, as I haven’t updated in a few days. SPIRIT DANCES is, by way of wordcount, 25% done. Pretty close to that by pagecount, too, at 103 pages of an anticipated 440. (oh god, that number looks big. *ignores it*) I had an unusually good writing day at 4700 words today. If I could do that every weekday I’d be nearly finished with it by Easter. That would be good, but it’s asking a lot. We’ll see. Four Five Six complete sets of the Walker Papers…
