So the novel I am currently working on has acccumulated so far only a meagre 21,000 or so words. In the interest of motivating myself into more consistent effort at working on and finishing this first draft, I am going to post each week an updated word count. That data will be found at a link from the home page of this journal.

Hopefully the opprobrium I will sense from the two people who read this journal will suffice to shame me into a more productive workload.
