I started a from-scratch rewrite the day I returned from StokerCon. I just wrote the ending for the novella. 26k words so far. I'm looking for where to expand it to hit a minimum 30K without dragging the pace. NO AI. NO SLEEP. JUST WRITING. I blame Richard B. Wood at Ruadán Books.

A lot of us need help planning our first murder. I remember it like it was yesterday, except that my lawyer informs me I don't recall it because it didn't happen. And you ain't seen nothing, got it?
