Despite a constant struggle for inspiration I’ve reached 61,000 words of rough draft, but this plot is still fighting me, and I dare not admit the project’s name.

Still, it was at 18,0000 words a month ago, so I am not at all unhappy; if it stalls, I will finish it someday. But so far, it has not stalled.

I’ve recently divested myself of satellite service in favor of steaming, and acquired a Amazon Prime video account with HBO, which has allowed me to re-watch the first, and best, season of True Detective, a truly great miniseries.

Here’s hoping everyone has a safe and happy New Year’s!
