The lovely
haldoor tagged me, and I'm a bit new to this daily challenge, and also to writing during the week - normally I'm a weekend writer. Given that, I thought I was being a bit ambitious for setting myself a target of 500 words before the deadline came up, but managed over 800, and hopefully I can keep that going tonight as it looks like I have a bit of peace and quiet! So target acquired and surpassed I thought I better check in and pass the baton onward.

lasairfhiona is okay to be tagged! I hope the muse is with you!
