84,586 for The Spare. Spent this evening reordering the chapters (why do I do that so often?) and getting in the skeleton of the ending chapters. Poor OW. Things just can't get much worse for her... And then they do. Well, anyway, I despise writing from scratch, but that is what I have to do on these chapters. All brand new stuff, so even when the chapters are written, I know they're going to stink. But, I also know I will fix them. Also, I've had some lovely and flattering emails about Lord Ruin, and everyone mentions a hope that I will write Devon and Emily. Of course that was always the plan, but it sure looked like I couldn't sell one storiy let alone one of a series. Anyway, I sort of dropped the immediacy of that idea. But I do want to write about Emily and Devon, and Lucy and Thrale. I started bumping around some ideas. But I also really, really like The List. That speaks to me. And The Barbarian, too. But maybe I like The List more right now. Well, first I have to finished The Spare, which I am really exciting about right now. Yippee!!
