Word Count

The count stands at 3,595 words, written Sunday through Thursday. I took Wednesday off.

I’ve also decided that commercial writing is not what I want to pursue at this time. What I wrote this week was fiction. I also unpacked six of the twelve boxes that I had been storing in my home office, and cleared off the desk. My twenty-odd collection of books on writing, plus reference material, are arranged to my left.

I have always wanted to be a published novelist. Lately, I’ve been thinking that pursuing anything else first might feel like wasted time in the long run. Wish me luck.
