Over 9K words on Beauty of the Wood.  Getting closer.  The next scene is a major catalyst.  Still going to be a race to the finish, and I might not have time to do much editing before adding it to the contest.  Hope that’s not the case, but…

It will still get full editing even if I have to post it at the last second with a quick check at Lit.  I’ll then make the corrections to the Lit version, and the one at SOL will be the fully edited version.

A little later:  At about 11k now.  Getting closer 🙂
