wow, what an eye-opening week. The last thing I wanted to do was yet another draft of my new novel, but it's as if I see new things, small weaknesses I hadn't before. I have a lot of work ahead of me and need to push my deadline out, but hopefully, this will strengthen my prose while not weakening the story. I just got to get over that ugh feeling in the pit of my stomach.

So many things I want to write and read, so little time to do it in.

Better to do a few things as best as you can, than a lot of things half-heartedly.

First I want to agree with walexander So many thing to write.

But three more chapters to correct in The Courier

Almost finished the second chapter of the steampunk UF fusion

Hmm, that might be all on novels.
