Writing Update

     At almost the last hour of the month, I wrote the last hundred words that I needed to hit my 30,000 word goal for my fifth novel.  Wow, I was beginning to doubt I would make the count.  Now, going into next month, I only have 10,000 to write to finish the book and get it to Dean.  I will write another 10,000 to be that much ahead for the final book.  I will then be able to take a few weeks off to recuperate from surgery.  I am very happy about all of this.  Watch out finish line, here I come.
