The word count is moving on Taxman after a break since the beginning of August working on edits and post-release stuff for Bargain. As usual after a longish break, I'd slightly lost the thread of where I was going with the chapter - not that I'd lost the plot of the book, just what I was doing with the next 1000 words or so. I seem to have got back into a groove again after 4 days of writing, although possibly not the groove I was in before I set it aside. :-) It stood at 30592 words when I opened the file on Monday night, and was 31063 at the end of the evening, for 471 new words. Tuesday I skipped, owing to a long day and temptation in the form of a brand new Midsomer Murders. Wednesday was 31373 total and 310 new. Thursday was 31626 and 253. Tonight was 32042 and 416.

I should try to keep this up while it's flowing. But I'm also very much tempted to dig out an old short story that never found a home, and do some re-writing on that. It's only 3300 words so would need to be beefed up a bit to meet the minimum 5k for the epub markets that take short stories, but it might be fun doing that.
