One Last Flight – Day Seven

Micro Sprint: 256 words Macro Sprint: 616 words I haven't yet broken a thousand words a day and with only ten days left in the month, I doubt that I can finish this tale in time with only one writing session a day. I will begin adding a second one tomorrow. Might as well start … Continue reading One Last Flight – Day Seven →

By week's end I must decide between … Continue reading One Last Flight – Day two →

I started it three weeks ago and after working on it for two-to-three hours, six days a week I managed to reach 6,892 words and the uneasy feeling I was only 1/4 of the way through the story.
