I took out a loan for my patient soul

Words today: 2700
Words total: 69700
Reason for stopping: I'm all worded out. I could get another 300, but they would all be random adjectives I'd have to cut tomorrow.
Darling: A section too long to quote.
Tyop: He lifted his wongs in a shrug. At least it wasn't his wangs...
Mean things: Angst, dying loved ones, self-aware hypocrisy
This particular plot thread crystallized for me when I realized it's a fantasy desert gothic. Today the scion of a fucked-up family returned to her ancestral home--with a plucky orphan in tow--only to make a morbid discovery. Soon the handsome brooding stranger will arrive. The running about in nightgowns already happened.
Today's superawesomeness was the arrival of my cover art from my UK editor. I don't have permission to share yet, but I am very happy.
