Day 1 of the 2-Day Writing Push

3,100 words written between 7:30 and 11:30 am this morning, plus Yay! for suddenly having stuff I'd written into the story coming to the fore and Making Sense Now.

EtA: and before I forget, again, here's the link to the S&S author page, including a short video interview I did...
