A solitary life
I’ve been really good this week about getting up early and writing. The short story ended up being about 8500 words, and I wrote it all out by hand over four days. This morning I could not wake up. It wasn’t that I was exhausted so much as I couldn’t get my brain to start.

High school is the jungle now
Just finished typing up the new story for the week, “Slipping the Leash.” I’ll do editing on it tomorrow night, and publish it. I’m very pleased with this story. I found the ending very satisfying. I don’t know if it’ll make any sense to anyone who isn’t me. I’m also nervous about this story, since

Four mostly done. . .
The path to finishing this week’s story has an interesting arc. (And by finished I mean the hand-written draft. I will still take tomorrow and Friday to type it up.) I wrote the first 1000 words on Sunday. Had to run at the beginning 3 times, so it actually took me about 2 hours just
