That's how many I have for my Uncommon Valor submission. Just under 2k away from the minimum wordcount they're looking for. About 1k of that is a sex scene. I have at least one other planned (the boys are being very insistent about it). I have one scene to finish to fill in gaps that have been left from writing scenes as they came to me instead of in chronological order. Then it's a matter of finishing it off. I'm really torn if I want to end with them returning to America or if I want to include the stuff they go through afterwards. Guess we'll see where the wordcount is at once I get to that point.
