and my youth is all but ashes;

I HIT MY YEARLY GOAL FOR getyourwordsout!!!!!!! 251,569 words!!!!!

I'm curious to see what my final word count will be for the year, considering I've never kept track of words before outside of doing NaNoWriMo. A good chunk of that is the fact that I cranked out A Hero Lies In You and I'm trying to hammer down on its sequel, which I don't think would have been the case had I not found the right combo of timing and inspiration.

Either way, I'll take it. I finally finished a thing for once.
