Day 6: 11 July 2021

When I wrote that I wanted to set a new monthly record today, I wasn’t processing that ‘today’ is Sunday. Sundays are never a prime writing day for me; there is simply too much going on. Plus, it’s good to have that one day with...

Day 5: 10 July 2021

Here, we are…Day 5 of my journey toward 1.5 million words of new fiction by the end of the year. And it was a good day. 6,821 words. That’s a record for July. I doubt I’ll set a new record tomorrow, but I hope I’ll do so Monday the 12th. It...
