When I first started this novel, I put each chapter in a separate Word document.  I wanted to put them all together in one document for this challenge so I could keep track of a total word count.  Well, heaven have mercy! I didn’t credit myself with enough words in all those pages. So here is the revised word count for the original pages.

Mills Crossing (quote, prologue, and first 7 chapters)

Today’s word count so far is 375 (yes, I know that sux rotten eggs). Clearly I have a long way to go to get back in the swing of writing every day. But today is not over yet, so I still have a shot at getting more words down. To tell the truth, I was discouraged over my failure to get a good start on this writing challenge. Then Jo Leigh reminded me that there’s more at stake in this challenge than just word count. Bless you, Jo! 

ps. I’m trying to learn how to do the trackback thing correctly, so please forgive me for any errors.
