The Journal, Friday, June 1

Hey Folks,

Short post today, which I’m sure you’ll find a relief after some of my recent ones. (grin)

I had a good walk this morning. Otherwise I’m just writing today.

I haven’t set aside the work tentatively titled Seduction quite yet, but I moved on to another one today.

Maybe I’ll finish Seduction, maybe not. Not worried about it. It feels sluggish right now, and at the moment I just want to produce, get myself back on track with a routine.

The new one, Dread, is listed below.

New month, too, so I had to set up all my spreadsheet equations again. Hope I got them right this time so I don’t have to correct something mid-month. (grin)

See you soon. ​
