Birthday Disrupt Write Good
Apologies for the garbled syntax -- kind of a garbled week. It's been a nonproductive one in terms of words anyway, but I've actually been crazy motivated and just too busy to sit down and do it. FINALLY got some time and banged out a bit, and I absolutely cannot wait to write the next few chapters. I love this part of newbookland.

Cue Rolling Stones
I've decided to start keeping a little Aztec Dance Tunes progress diary over here too. (Those who have friended, do not fear -- it'll only be updated a couple of times a week.) What I really, really, really want is one of those little progress bars, you know, so many words out of the estimated total, and then I'll come up with some fun metrics. ( Read more... ) -
