Carnal Fear word count

I just closed out the file for my novel in progress, Carnal Fear. The Word tool says I just hit word 55,555. It's kind of an alliterative number isn't it? It's also pretty meaningless as I still have tons of notes inbedded in the book but hey, I still added 400 new words today so boom! to me.

I wish I could say that writing this book is the hardest thing I have ever done. Of course the reason it is so hard to write is because it is about the hardest things I have ever lived through...
