Daily efforts (formerly 1 st draft)   I’ve still been working on WWS Chapter 4 and that contest story. Incredibly, last month I thought I was going to have Chapter 4 and 5 done and ready to go. I wish I was a fast writer. Or maybe I need to learn to write better first drafts. Accomplishments (formerly Editing) “Wind/Water/Salt”. Posted chapter 4 to OWW.

It was bound as a book, so I’m treating it as one. “Every Heart a Doorway” by Seanan McGuire. Free download, and it was on my list! And also it was short, which is good because the thing you can’t tell about this report is I was 75 pages from the end of HMD on the 26 th of the month. Oh, and I always list books rea...
