Blackwell Ops 2: Charles Claymore Task released this morning, so I uploaded it to BundleRabbit.
This morning I’ll put together a few blog posts for Sunday through Tuesday (just in case). Then while I’m gone it will be just like I’m here except the fiction numbers below won’t change over those 2 or 3 days. But they should take a nice leap when I get back.

Just a reminder… the PWW blog goes live on March 18. I believe this will be a valuable new resource.
If you subscribed to http://prowriterswriting.com through a “form” on the website in the early days, you need to subscribe again.
I got rid of the form and that subscription service. Now you only have to click a link in the menu at the website.
If you want to subscribe via RSS, you can do that too. The feed URL is http://feeds.feedburner.com/ProWritersWriting. If that doesn’t work, use http://prowriterswriting/feed/.

Rolled out at 2:30 this morning and went straight to work creating posts for Sunday and Monday for this Journal. I’ll leave tomorrow afternoon and expect to be back on Monday afternoon. We’ll see.
No topic today and probably no topic tomorrow. My intention is to get as much done on the novel today and tomorrow as I can so I can go into the camping trip not feeling guilty about writing less while I’m out there. (grin)
But I’ve already pre-posted a couple of good topics for Sunday and Monday. I’d forgotten how much work is involved in writing and pre-posting Journal editions.
Searching the internet for items of interest, writing those pre-posts and writing the stuff above took up the better part of three hours.
Finally up to the house for a break at 6.
To the novel at 7:45.
Well, I didn’t get as much done today as I thought I might.
Talk with you again tomorrow.
