1. I feel much, much better when I write a lot. I'll feel even better when I unleash myself and regularly write out five stories a week.
2. There is no stupid goal I can't achieve, if it's made by me.
3. I'm still taking 10 hours to write a short story, 500 words per hour (at best). I intend to tune that down to 5 hours/1000 words per hour using Writing Science.
4. People will apparently buy my writing. Good to know.
5. Cover art is not only fun, it gets me tramping around outside to get the requisite materials. Win-win.
6. Daily blogging is also fun.
Now, if you'll excuse me, real life inebriated me and I'll have to take a well-deserved rest. Tomorrow, I'm back in action to finish up this story and start/outline a few more for Speed.
