Well, this is a new turn in things. I spent yesterday in bed sick off my ass. No idea where that came from. I still have a stretch of eight days straight at work, counting today. Words will be where I can find them. More later.

Willow and I are both tired this morning. We took a selfie anyway. Writing was good yesterday. I'm still feeling out the new characters for this segment, but I think they should be a fun group. I also need to get back to cruising names off the kill list

Back to work today. I've finally reached the 40k mark on this project. Still less than half way through, but it's nice to be out of the 30ks that I've been in seemingly forever. The section of the book is a fresh one, so I hope to build some momentum.

Monday Update
I have two consecutive days off for the first time in a month. So far I've used the time to rest. Yesterday was largely the Super Bowl and game day food. I've got some words down though. TANK is moving right along. More later.

Progress was solid. I'm still in the 30ks on words down which feels like where I have been for an eternity. It happens every book at some point. I'm just glad that I seem to be moving forward again. Heading into work. More later

Good progress yesterday. I'm contemplative this morning. One thing I struggle with as a writer is comparing my production to others. Not just writers but people doing it full time and are considered prolific in their own production. Just random thoughts

Mined some words yesterday and the cold hasn't let up. So I have a lot more work at my day job. Living on Hoth seems to be the new normal. 🤷♂️

Hey, we're making it two in a row! Some words were written and I tied a chapter I had written in advance into things. I'm still working a lot but there has been progress.

See I have been writing! I told you so. The evidence is right there. Look at it! Numbers that represent words! It's beautiful. It's 0 degrees fahrenheit right now and I'm sitting in the Jeep waiting to go into work. More later.

I swear I wrote yesterday! I ended up running late this morning, so I didn't have time for the usual update stuff. We're still battling the elements out here which I'm sure will affect my day at work today.

Well, I worked all weekend, including yesterday which saw me clearing snow for eight hours. While I listened to a lot of audiobook(s), it really didn't leave me in a great place for writing. The upside is with all the snow I have some time.

Alright, I made it a point to get an update out today. I mined some more words for the big board and finished the chapter I was working on. I'm still logging a lot of hours at my day job, but hopefully I can get back into a regular rhythm. More later.

Updates have been spotty. I put in 18 hours of overtime over the weekend. That ate up a lot of my time. Tonight is J's birthday, so I expect words to be hard to come by. Other than that, it's business as usual.

It wasn't the most productive day but it was a lot closer to normal than the rest of the week. I'm in a spot between scenes so there's a little bit of a slog writing-wise otherwise things are going well. Off to fight the snow now.

I got a few words in yesterday but for the most part I was fighting off migraine party two. It didn't set in until my last hour of work so it could have been worse. Hopefully back to it today.

Not a whole lot to tell. I was laid up with a migraine yesterday, but there were words over the weekend. I really need to get my board hung again. I think I'm going to use command strips instead on screws this time. Back to work. 🤷♂️
