Just over 9600 words before I went to bed last night.

Like always, dialogue comes much easier than anything else. I do an [i]enormous[/i] amount of technical writing, and it's sometimes a job to keep myself from leaping off the Good Narrative track and into the land of Shitty Infodumps. Not only are Shitty Infodumps, well, shitty, but they're very word-efficient and dry, which is not terribly helpful when your goal is word count.
