2/8/23 --- Another 4000 words down...

 Today was my second day in a row putting in 4000 words total (across two books), which is fantastic! I love when I get into a groove like this because books just seem to fly out of me! In the past four days I've put in nearly 12,000 words, which is a TON of progress. My goal for the year is 1500 words per day, so this puts me well above goal.

Cowmelot is now moving into the final battle stages of the book. Total word count right now is 109,500, making it the longest book I've ever written. It'll probably be at least 120k, if not 125k by the time I'm finished. My sincerest wish is to have it nearly completed by the end of this upcoming weekend. I'm placing it as priority #1, so I don't work on anything else until the words are done for this book first.

Beta's Bliss is coming along as well. I just passed 23,000 total words, putting me nearly at the halfway point. I'm breaking into the first true sex scene of the book, which is about perfect for the pacing I'm aiming for. From here, things will ramp up until we reach the falling out, then we'll have them make up just in time for a happily ever after! This story is more of an internal conflict, whereas the last in the series had an external conflict (a bad guy) that drove the characters apart. I think this one is more relatable in some ways, but definitely sans a bad guy. Hopefully, everyone enjoys it, I know I've really liked it so far!

Well, that's about it for me. Here's to another great writing day tomorrow as well!
