Words: 1,028
Total words: 6,246
Overused word: pagoda
Gratuitous word: obsolete
Type of scene: The wonderful kind when I discover all sorts of things about my story that I didn't know. And I think they're pretty damn nifty. Pagodas! Cherry blossoms carved out of stone!

Other writingy stuff:
* penthius freewriting - it's cannibal-tastic.
* Posted writing log
* Read Writer's Digest newsletter
