My Novel Writing Month is going..... right on pace. that is a slowdown from earlier but that's why you build the cushion early. I'm at 20K words and want 40K; I think I can get there.
If you want to talk about that or your own progress this month, we've got a free call tomorrow

If you're unable to see the aurora from where you are, the University of Alaska's Geophysical Institute has a couple of aurora cams. One at explore.org/livecams/aur..., too. It's still a bit light here for great viewing

That “would mark one of the largest single-quarter losses for a tech company in history.”

After demanding to know why Mr Darcy never saw her as a potential match, Miss Caroline Bingley receives an answer more truthful than she'd like. Wounded, she turns to his sister, Georgiana, to help her become a kinder, sweeter version of herself... and finds a real romance along the way ❤️
