AQATWA: Lest you lose hope

[inverarity]

No, really, I am still writing. Okay, I'm still not hitting my targets (good thing I didn't attempt NaNoWriMo), but I managed to get about 2000 words written today.

Since I am now up to 157K, and I haven't done one of these in a while, here's a wordle, as of Chapter 31.

Intriguing: dwarves (I don't think they were in HP canon, were they?), Erdglass (name or artefact?), Jimplicute (??)

[cactuscommando]

Dwarves were mentioned as one of the troubles that Troublesome brought upon the Ozarkers in book 4 I believe.

New characters, eh? I LOVE YOU

It's happening!

Woo hoo! Word counts! Pritchads! Spaghetti!

> GRRM

No kidding, when you first dated yourself in that post last month as a middle-aged dude, I grew a sudden interest in your body shape, diet, and known health conditions in your family. :P

Well we know he's got a black belt, so I think we can rule out GRRM-girth.

I've known some pretty portly black belts...

Well, it seems we'll be seeing (or at least hearing) out of Claudia, Livia and Julia almost as much as Alexandra, and even more than Anna, which makes me very happy (not the more than Anna part - I love Anna too much for that - but the fact that it looks like we'll finally be seeing a lot of Alexandra's sisters).

Less Anna and David was sadly predictable based on the premise of the book, but I hope it's ending will shape up in a way that at least we can see more of them in book 6.

I AM SUPER PATIENT!

Keep on - Keeping on...

I'm old - not much hair, mostly grey - mostly retired and DO SO MUCH want to see the next chapter of Alexandra's troubled life. ;-))

I say all of that to spur you onward in your almost never-ending quest.

Thanks for all you do.
