Daily count challenge to skargasm

Had a pretty good day today. Finally was able to get out of the house for a walk, which was needed, but a little tiring. Both siblings came by to check up on me which was nice.

I did get around to writing and managed about 285 words toward a work in progress (which is 285 more than I've written in the last 30 days, so... progress!)

skargasm, here's to abundant creativity in the day ahead! Happy writing!
