Passing the daily challenge to shanachie_quill!

[bratfarrar]

Got in a quick 202 words tonight--mostly organizing my thoughts about a fantasy novel I've been trying to write for a while now. There's a lot of world-building stuff I haven't put down on paper yet, so that seems like a good place to start as I try to get back into writing regularly.

Good luck to you tomorrow, shanachie_quill!
