The song is finished...

Finally, on Sunday afternoon, I completed my 'Desert Song' story.

After churning out 2,342 fairly decent words on Saturday, I followed it up the next day with a further 2,068 words.

That brings the story up to a total word count (after a few minor edits here and there) of 10,996 words. Just a little over the original editorial request of 5,000 words.

Today? I've got a stack of illustrations to start working through and, if I've got time, emails to answer!
