I can’t discuss word count. I have a legitimate reason why I couldn’t write–my husband was setting up my computer. That IS a reason! It’s not? Pretty good excuse though, right? As I write this, I am sitting behind a 23 inch monitor on my brand new computer. I’m not bragging. Really, I’m not. I’ve never owned a brand [...] Reached 49,266 words. Don’t know what spurned writing, but Church’s chicken probably didn’t hurt.
