And very quickly, very belatedly, I wound up with 41,365 words during the month of May.  I’m fairly happy with that pace, but I don’t know if I have a chance of keeping it up.  I am still trying to pull together a writers’ group, especially now that I see some going up in other towns.  Just out of reach. 🙁  If I went to those meetings, I’d probably wind up on four hours of sleep if I had to go to work the next day.  Nothing seems to be arranged around early risers.
