    I spent the last two hours working on revisions to a story and I am about halfway done with them. They are a little trickier than usual because I have to make some small changes earlier in the story that have bigger impacts toward the end. But I felt like I made some good progress…

    Throughout the Comcast Saga, I did managed to get some work done on “If By Reason of Strength…” I did about 500 words and I’ve now completed the first 3 sections of the story. More tomorrow. The Comcast Saga screwed up my workout plan for today. Not only did I not end up getting a…
