Words roundup

[hawkwing_lb]

I cheated, I confess. Old words, put in some sort of order for re-sorting tomorrow.

Yes, I'll hate myself for this tomorrow. But. 3,452 words! Nothing to sneeze at. Only 48 words short of The Unachievable Goal.

If I get 1,000 new words tomorrow, I'll be happy.

Also, revising draft estimate downwards. 80,000 - 100,000 words, first pass. Let's make this at least look more achievable, alright?
