Hi friends, it's MTN time, so I still have some day left. I have time for writing in the evenings usually.

My current project is a personal essay submission with a limit of 2000 words and I only had 858, so I narrated what else I wanted to say. I haven't transcribed it, but my guestimate is about 500 words.

I also worked some connecting parts for other short stories I want to submit this year. I've got beginnings, middles, and ends, but no way to get from part to part :-D

So my total for today is 2902 words.

Next up is flipflop_diva!
