Welcome.
Just start somewhere before the inciting incident. Odds are good to high that you'll change the beginning anyway when you start the revisions.
I thought I would be out this quarter too, but was hit in the face with an idea that I'm currently blasting through.
I do hope to be back to the novel soon tho. I was doing well with it. I need more time...

So...for this week...
BD&L at least three chapters. Really have to push, my reader is waiting. A couple of these are basically total first-writes but then I'll be back into re-writing.
The Other Book I'll go for at least two chapters, first go round.

Worked a tiny bit on New Mage ... working on crits.
and a tiny bit on "Angel Kin"... Too hot to take laptop to work.
That's it had to help clean up after four trees were taken out, plus mowing the lawn and then had to do some inside stuff I won't go into detail about and wife used some of my time Saturday evening.
