I can feel my brain focusing in a way it hasn't in a long time. I forgot how tiring it can be, delving deep into another world.

Using The Research
So I finished off my location research today and started writing a brief description for each. So far I've written two and am half way through the third.

Renewing Those Forgotten Goals
There was a plan to have finished revising my novel by Christmas. I'm still lingering somewhere around the 15000-word mark. Any writing I've been doing has been blogging for Crafty Sew & So. Delving into sewing projects leaves very little time to write. It's incredibly satisfying completing projects, then parading about the place in my wears.
