I did manage to get some writing done today. One chapter for 2,646 words. It took a bit longer to finish than I expected, which meant a second chapter would get split by soccer. Since this particular chapter needs a feel that I have to remain consistent on, I opted not to start it. I’ll […]

Friday was a good day, despite a late start. I got two chapters done for 5,052 words and I am pleased with them. I did some quick outlining of the next seven chapters or so, to make sure they fit together and I’m liking how that sequence will run. By Monday it should be done, […]
