I've had a hard time writing this year. All the distractions, both personal and otherwise, have seriously hampered my output. I just can't focus like I used-to-could. (Used-to-could is totally a word. Promise.)
So, in an effort to try to jump-start my production, I went ahead and started a new story. It's one I've had ticking in my brain for a while, so I'm not just winging it, though I don't have a proper outline, either.
The important thing is that I broke a thousand words today. Perhaps this will be the start of a trend. *fingers crossed*
