I also wanted to compliment you. I saw the new covers for your books. They look great!

Thanks I think they're great also!  The brother took the lead on these and they've really turned out nice.

Slipped in some extra writing to bring me to 85,992 words.

Finished revamping the 2nd to the last chapter and am now half way through the Epilogue.  Added about 1.5k of new content as of last night around midnight.  Its now morning so reset the clock.  (groan)

But we can do it!

I get teared-up writing some of these scenes. 87,408 words, and moving to the last few chapters before the final battle begins.

I don't think that's ever happened to me.  The only tears can remember shedding have been when I'm up past midnight writing and the fan is blowing in my face.  Have to adjust it sometimes or I get terrible dry eyes.

Haha. No, I get teary quite a lot, even when I'm just thinking about emotional scenes.

I normally don't get teary eyed while I'm writing certain scenes, but I did get teary eyed one day when I was brainstorming a coming of age story focusing on a father and son relationship. The tears solidified that the idea was definitely a keeper!

I took a flier today.  Yesterday I topped out at 9.5k though so I don't feel too bad about it.

6k - Falon 2 =  up to 14k total

I was supposed to work on Admiral's Revenge today but by about 3pm with no work done I abandoned it in favor of an idea for another couple chapters on Falon Book 2.

Will try again tomorrow for jump starting the Revenge.

Broke 100K today on the WiP.  This year, I've written about 140K total between the WiP and two completed novellas.
