Well, even though I don't have as many words as I did when I abandoned my first novel this month, I'm still feeling good about the change. I'm at 4,857 words tonight, and although it's tempting to grind out that next 150 to make it to 5,000, I'm going to call it a night. My wrists are still recovering from planting spring flower bulbs yesterday, and typing several thousand words since then isn't doing them any favors.

So that's the update. Still playing catch-up. When I get there, then the experiment of working on two novels at a time can resume.
