  • Goals for the day

    Not getting started as quickly or as efficiently as I’d like, but here’s what I want to accomplish for the day. Better than a thousand words on the Talyn proposal Better than 2500 words on TWOH And be done by 8 p.m. or so. So. Onward. Starting total wordcount on the proposal is 1565. Needs…

  • 2567 words, and done for the night

    This has been a damned good writing day, and I still managed to save the juciest part of this scene, which has been damned juicy already, for the day after tomorrow. Tomorrow, Lauren again. I love this book. It’s breathing for me. Download as PDFPrint Page

  • Bugger-all, man
