home isolation helps the wordcount...

After being dreadfully behind, my week of covid isolation and a very good word count today meant catching up and getting ahead. Whether or not I get any words in tomorrow after going back to work, I'll have hit the monthly goal; I'm satisfied with that.

My day of 5050 words, and finishing 2 chapters, was a good one.

simplyn2deep close out the month for us...good luck!

Slow, Sated Sunday- yet another belated entry.

[thatwasjustadream]

Sigh. I had a home construction project, and only just remembered that I fell down on the prompt job today. Luckily, any given day can be Sunday for your OTPs and 3s, so.... here goes.

Canoodling away a Sunday night like Monday will never come.

Good luck with your writing and may the week treat us well!
