Hey Folks,
Well, I’m posting this very early today. The sun has almost come up. (grin)
Today will be a non-writing day, but some good items in “Of Interest” below.
After a very short night of sleep, I still managed to get out to the Hovel early, as I’d hoped I would. I continued the current story/chapter, then hit a snag and cycled back to repair it.
That took me almost to the beginning of that chapter, so I settled in and read through the whole thing, still cycling. I added a few hundred words, but not enough to count them as a separate writing day.
Today will be a day of cleaning and chores. I should be back in the full swing tomorrow.
See you then.
