Things have been moving along. In some regards the last few weeks have seen less productivity than before, but this is acceptable for now. Other worldly obligations have been on the table, which is somewhat expected to cut down on my output.
I am thinking of moving to a word-goal for each week, which would make [...]

September 20, 2007Stages of my Writing Endeavor
August 29, 2007This will be elaborated upon further, to be sure… but for the sake of getting it down, here are the stages I’ve moved through in this overall writing endeavor:
