Good morning, writers! I wrote only 150 words this morning, but I made a discovery about a character.
Here’s the view from a few days ago, before the rain washed away all the snow. ❄️

Good morning, #5amwritersclub! I forgot to post earlier (puppy chaos and distraction), but I did write about 500 words. Inching forward.

Good morning, #5amwritersclub. I crossed the 25,000-word mark in my WIP this morning! And I learned something new (and kind of important) about one of my characters. How did your writing go this morning?
And here’s today’s muted sunrise. 🌅
