ReplyDeleteHa! You know I love your writing, and this was too funny! A million words? I'm hyperventilating at 170k before June-July!
ReplyDeleteThank you both!
ReplyDeleteCassandra - I *try* for a million every year, but didn't quite make it last year (that whole "moving overseas" thing kinda threw a monkey wrench into stuff). But this year? This year I'm making it.
Fun, loved the humor!
ReplyDeleteHa, love this. And yay for hearing there's a sequel!
