word count

I've been thrashing away at Spindrift for most of the day. Just stopped for afternoon tea, and checked the word count. It's just passed 30,000 words total, and 2000 words for the day so far. Some of that's probably going to be chopped during the second pass, but at least words are happening now. It says something about how hard it was to get going on Spindrift that I have had to repress the urge to work on the current submission package for The Trashy Porn Novel That Grew, an activity that is normally the cause rather than the means of cat-vacuuming.
