(Actual question). Turns out we really like writing period, but are running into some concerns of colloquialism. But hey, 13,640 words! More than makes up for the words we didn’t make yesterday while we were planning. (Also, value of planning: … Continue reading
NaNoWriMo: Day 5
Didn’t write much today (about 200 words, we’re just shy of 11K now) but we spent four or five hours in email today banging out what the story is actually, you know, about. And we did, to our immense relief, … Continue reading

Do the thing: Some days are awesome
Some days, for no good reason, absolutely suck. But some days, also for no good reason, are absolutely awesome. Today is one of the latter. Maybe it’s the crisp fall weather (well, as crisp as it ever gets in D.C.) … Continue reading
