Big shift Monday

I managed to get a bunch of stuff done on Monday, including two chapters for a total of 5092 words. In between them I made my Thanksgiving food run and managed to score a present for my 3.75 year old niece. I was kind. It doesn’t make a lot of noise, and should give her […]

Character-building Tuesday

It might seem, given that title, that I spent the day building characters. Nope. I wish I had. It would have gotten me a bit further on the book. As it was, I really got no where. I mentioned yesterday that I had a second set of meetings today for the Game Manufacturers Association. The […]
