There is much going on, and yet time stretches like taffy this early in the new year. Every day a treasure, a box not yet opened, a bit of gold that spills slowly through the palms and onto the floor. I have no idea what the year will bring, so I show up at the desk and do the words and there we are, the words and me, sitting together, wrestling really, in the low streams of afternoon light.
I am writing in 2014. And that is the best there is.
Yesterday’s Words:

Today’s Words:
1,5000 non-fiction, 1,000 gaming.

Hell yes. DO IT!
Sounds like a great goal, Shanna! I know you can do it.
Brandon Sanderson has little progress bars on his website for his different projects. http://brandonsanderson.com/ I don’t know how hard it is to put those on a site, but it would be fun to see your bars fill up!
Let me know if there are any projects/products you’d like me to promote on my podcasts. I’d be happy to get the word out!
