Switching Gears

Hey there, Fellow Creatures!   Hope all is good in the woods. As of writing this, I'm officially done with draft 1 of Stone of the Scarred.    The final word count is right around 117k. How can that be when I just wrote a blog about surpassing the 125k mark the other day?    Well, I ended up taking out a few chapters and switching some things around and cut it a little (or a lot if you think about the percentage of the story 8k is!), and I'm relatively happy where it ended up.   There's still plenty of editing that needs to happen to get it into tip-top shape, but first I'm switching gears a bit to concentrate...
