The mood in the house tonight is very somber. We’ll be holding a candlelight vigil for the death of summer in a moment.

I hit 40,000 words on the book tonight. That’s 15,000 in a little under three weeks! I’m hoping that momentum isn’t hurt too much by work. I know you’re probably getting tired of the updates, considering you don’t even know what the story is about, but I’ll update you anyways. I can tell you that I spent a good 5-10 minutes tonight researching what a gunshot wound feels like. The best description I read was 1000 tiny knives stabbing you all at once. I also did some research about the Invasion of Panama in 1989, and how the pit maneuver works. Exciting stuff!

Off to bed. (Pours out bottle of tequila onto the floor dramatically)
