My hope for today is to finish the second draft of Shattered. Knowing my own laziness, though, that might not happen. I still have hope, though ( Read more... ) -
Between and Novel and a Short Story
... Is me, actually getting some work done. Shattered is still coming along. It's now at 71,000 words and I should easily make my goal of 80k.
