    I enjoy tracking my word output, like most authors. Typically, I’m aiming for a rough daily word count throughout the week (minimum of 250, but once I hit a stride with a story it usually bumps up to more like 700-1,000 words a day) and then I enjoy tallying up the monthly totals to see…

        What a ride!     I feel like this whole author thing just kinda shot off like a rocket this past Fall and I’ve only now taken the time to look and see just how far up that initial burst took me.     It’s enough to give me a giddy sense of light-headedness!     Now, I cannot deny that…
