I just completed Chapter 12. I still do not have an outline for the rest of the story. The strange thing is I don't seem too worried about it yet. The writing is going smoothly, and I guess, that's what is more important. Once again, I seem to be doing more writing on transit than … Continue reading Finished writing Chapter 12

It’s been a weird week
It's been a weird week. I got a good sleep last night, eight hours, so that help. I don't usually sleep that long. I often only get six hours; I may get seven hours on a good night.

My trials of writing

I am seriously considering riding transit on weekends, so I can get work done on the book, just kidding… LOL. Still, it … Continue reading My trials of writing
