Thanks for the shout out, Erika! What's interesting is that in my writing sessions since the write-a-thon, which have been an hour or two long, I feel disappointed. Only 850 words? Not good enough! Our internal editors are so crafty, aren't they? Critical voices able to turn any experience into "failure." Funny.
