20 000 words into writing a story and I started counting words to see if I can make it long enough to be a novel. I’ve decided to stop that and just write the story. Feeling better already.

Monster Siege: Slobber monsters(parents) attempt to steal rubber ducks from defenders(kids), who use pool spears to defend themselves.
