Hey guys. Me again. Yeah. I know. But this morning I’m not gonna bore you with page counts or progress. Instead it’s story time.
I’m not a planner. Sure, I have the major beats worked out. Spin to two, mid, dark night, spin to three, aftermath.

I post a lot about my writing here because I haven’t got a lot of people to keep me motivated and accountable. So I post here to ensure I’m making progress.
Having said that, I’m now on page 65. These last four pages need extensive revision before I can proceed. Progress.
