Today was a victorious writing day, #team500. +1073 words for a finished, if very rough, draft of chapter seven.

This means I have working draft of all the body chapters of my book. They all need varying amounts of work, but this means I have met my goal of finishing my sabbatical with a working draft of my book. #histodons #amwriting 1/

#team500 +1125 words today. If I have another day like t his tomorrow, I can call this a completed chapter draft, and thus will have a full working draft of the whole book (minus introduction and conclusion).
