On track for word count goals. Today’s highlight? Right at the end, I found a character. Yup. After 5000 words of drivel, I found a character.

My character is the Japanese-American equivalent of “A Boy Named Sue.” His mother named him Sakura (not a bad sounding name to an unenlightened American, right?).
