2024-11-12: Another renaming of a chapter (the same one). Had to research previous things I’d written to ensure accuracy of creature descriptions. I also had to lookup what I’d used before for group names / collective nouns for certain creatures. To aid in this search I combined all my final copies of ebooks together and guess what? Over 2400 pages make up this series so far!

2024-10-31: I am currently sitting at 55,555 words which I thought was fun and worth a quick break to report. Happy Halloween!
