Hey Folks,
Rolled out right at 3:30, wide awake, then honestly did nothing for almost the first two hours. Babies to take care of and all that, so I got nothing accomplished.
I took care of some small things around the house, then turned my attention to the edit from around 8 until noon. In that time I got 36 pages done, so I increased the bank by one. Now to fiction for the balance of the day.
This will be a really short post as it turns out. I finished my first magic realism story in years. This one won’t go out to donors as I’ve sent it to Mexico for possible publication in a magazine there. If they turn it down, or when I get rights reverted after it’s published, I’ll send it to you then.
