Starting on Second Goal
Take three on proposal seven. What a gloomy thought. But I’ll get one eventually, and this could be the one. Having killed people in the far past and the medium past, my villain now has to be made to kill people in the present. That’s where most of this proposal has to change. Off, then,…

Writing Today
Need to work on HAWKSPAR. The past three days have cost me just under 9000 words. My start point today is 132,034, and my goal is 135,034 or better. Better would be good. I had to switch the template on the diary — the other one looked all right but trashed essential portions of the…
