Writing Update

 I have been keeping my goal of writing 30 minutes a day. Each day, I think of a new topic in my book to explore during that time.  

The main document on my laptop, The Child Advocate, which I haven't worked on in months, has a word count of 21,713. This morning, I copied and pasted the entire thing into Grammarly, and it gave me over 2,000 improvements. It must have decreased the word count quite a bit, but I didn't count it until I copied and pasted my past week of writing into the main document. 

After editing the old 21,713-word document and adding a week’s worth of 30-minute increments, my total word count is now 25,464. 

However, the book is a mess. It's all out of order. It's going to be fixed a gazillion more times.
