Despite months of tendonitis, my novella is done! Well, rough draft. But as I promised to submit it to my writers group Tuesday, at least I have something to submit. Yay, me!

Story is progressing
Not a lot of word count, but some. Still moving forward!

She held up her candle. A long, branched crack crinkled the ceiling. Had that been there before?
The moan came again, and a second chunk fell.
“Lian!” Jerry splashed across the room.
