Day One - NaNoWriMo 2015
Nov. 1st, 2015 09:56 pmAll right, so today's word count came in at 2363. Official Word Counting has begun!

Cullen’s eyes squeezed shut, and he took a deep breath. “So am I,” he said softly.
Rising to his feet, Alistair settled himself onto the bed next to Cullen. “Do you have anyone to talk about her with? Anyone at all?”

“--haven’t actually talked to anyone. No, no, I get it,” Alistair said with a sigh.
