January was a month of constant motion, yet still felt long somehow. Progress was made: a revised outline to an old story was completed, I came up with outlines for a few more, and I made some editing progress as well. Unfortunately, there was no translation or production of new material, but on the positiveContinue reading “Plans for February”
