And, clocking in at 6,800 words, my short story about the birth of Wren Chastain is finished.

Well, the first draft.

If you like these characters, they're part of a novel I wrote for #NaNoWriMo last year, called "Exchange Magic". This is a prequel to that novel.

I'm trying to just move forward on my current short story (that is in danger of becoming a novella) so that I don't lose momentum. I figure a finished first draft is better than an unfinished but revised draft.

But I'm second guessing myself. Of course.

In high school, in 1994, my best friend and I invented a holiday. I think 2020 is a good year to bring it back.

I am the master of interior design, as long as you're good with an "all books" aesthetic.

Writing in the train this morning. I love it when I get a good seat and can do something creative. It feels like a good portent for the rest of the day. #amwriting
