Pick-pick-o-Nano, Day 15

Picking at the manuscript, word by word. Not much time spent these past few days but progress nonetheless. Word count: 81,185. I thought maybe this book would reach 95,000; I'm thinking now it'll stay about where it is, maybe 85,000. One of the factors is I've decided it's going to end sooner -- I had planned two books but now it will likely be a trilogy. Who knows? Maybe more.
