I did not work on my story. Not sure why. I have excuses, but I really can use them. Sure I had ten people where over here and I was watching my daughter and a friends kid, but I could have worked on it. There was a lot of time I could have been working on the story. I do not know why I am not, I think I am unsure. Don't know why.

I have actually outlined a story. I have never done this. I always just write a couple chapters with no real idea of all the plot points. The story kind of fizzles. Not this time.
