Thank you! I hope so too, but I've got laryngitis now, so I might have an uphill climb here.

Belated Jan. 5 update: I added another couple thousand words, so the WIP is heading towards the 30k mark now.
I'm going to try working on multiple projects simultaneously, though, so that's where it will stay for the next few days.

Update for Jan. 3: I got a solid 2 hours in this morning and clocked around 5k words (nice), bringing the WIP to just over 22k words!
It might seem like I have that 25k mark in the bag, but LO has not yet learned sharing colds is not caring. I'm going to rest now.

That sounds like a great start!
Yeah, we've avoided the flu so far! Some relatives had it over Xmas,
and it sounded NASTY. Between that and the weather, we're still waiting to reschedule our plans with them.

Hope 2026 is treating you well so far!!
