What I hate about my writing: Still feeling like crap, but shoulder through it any way.
The Good: And I’m back, mostly. I still don’t have a clear idea of what else I have to do on other projects, but I think my goal planning is done for this one.

I’ve expanded the total word count to 140,000 on the jellied foundation that I was roughly at the halfway point when I hit 70,000. So that puts my estimate of finishing the first draft at the end of May. It may end up going faster or being less, but that’s where I am right now.

So now I have wrapped up the flashback scene of Chapter Twenty-two with only a little bit present day chit-chat between Cain and DG to wrap the chapter up.
The Bad: If I don’t wake up on time, I will never get my dedicated hour done first thing.
Fave DG line: “I’m afraid I don’t conform to anyone’s standards of how a Princess should behave. If it makes your ego feel better, you can blame it on being raised on the Other Side.”
Fave Aedan line: “You won’t even have dinner alone with me, but you let a common Tin Man between your legs for a whole week! I’ll not suffer that, Princess!”
Fave Raw line: “Prince no hurt Cain. How could you think that?”
Fave Glitch line: “We’ve all been there. I think they still tell horror stories about my first ball. I’ll give your excuses. Take care of her, Raw.”
Fave Cain line: “That explains the ball from hell picture.”
What I'm looking forward to: Not spending most of the day feeling like shit. I didn’t think the stress detox would take this long.
What I'm not looking forward to: Having to put the story on hold again. It really didn’t work all that well the last time, and I’d much rather schedule the multi-tasking so that everything gets done.
