Happy Friday Everyone!
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

Today's update is a bit light. Things started out well enough, but eventually I got tired. Working all these extra hours is catching up with me. Regardless, things are still moving forward. I don't have a deadline beyond this year. More later.

Back to work today. I might be back to only working five days this week. We'll see. I did get some words in yesterday which was nice. I feel like I've been in the 30k range forever. Regardless, TANK is still moving forward. More writing later.

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.

Non-Update
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. 🤷♂️

No real update today. Today is still technically my weekend and I've been a bit lazy playing card games and watching football. Since Andy and I tried Riftbound, I'm watching Arcane for the first time. Maybe I'll get a few words in later.

The big board still needs hung, but here we are with an update. TANK isn't in a bad place to start the year. I'm still not putting a deadline on it other than 2026. Willow has also made an appearance to do some product placement. It's a bit early for her.
