150k Wordcount Milestone!

Today I reached a milestone with my latest book! 150,000 words! I can actually believe that Muspell’s Sons is going to have a sequel! Granted, they are 150,000 unedited words, and not all of the story is written down yet. I consider it a rough or first draft until I am reasonably happy with how
