And I hit the 2000 subscriber limit on Mailchimp. I never thought that would happen. Crap.

[Lupine]

^Congrats!

[blablover5]

It's not that much fun as I have to either purge some subscribers or start paying. I'm going the purge route for now.

[RJDiogenes]

That's still pretty impressive.

Looks like I'm disqualified from Leprechaun Porn, because one of the requirements is having a book published in the Romance genre. I wrote back, "Looks like I'm out of luck-- no pun intended," but received no sign that they were amused.

[Lupine]

^Pity.

[blablover5]

I knew you needed to have a book published, didn't know it had to be romance.

I worked on a new promo for Squire Hayseed.

[Jim Gamma]

I'm hoping to get to 5k this evening. Just writing a bit that should be a complete shock. Two down, a third nearly went with them...

[Jim Gamma]

4,737 words today, two chapters. Currently standing at 57,654 words total, 22 chapters plus prologue. That last chapter was a little... fraught.

[blablover5]

I tried making a quick video for Squire Hayseed.

[RJDiogenes]

^Pity.

I'll show them! I'll write the greatest Leprechaun Porn ever! Fifty Shades of Green!

I tried making a quick video for Squire Hayseed.

Cool. You should work in the other two taglines from the first one.

That last chapter was a little... fraught.

Uh oh.

[blablover5]

Son of Krampus got rejected, which I expected.

But the publisher asked if I could still write something else for them, which I didn’t expect. Hm...

[Lupine]

^That's pretty good though.

[blablover5]

I emailed back the editor and she's excited about two of my other book ideas. So I guess the next time I sit down to write, I'll have to keep that word count in check.

[Lupine]

^Even more awesome!

[RJDiogenes]

That sounds very promising. You shouldn't worry about word count, though. You can always publish the Director's Cut later if they give you a limit on length, like Stephen King did with The Stand.
