Progress report #10

I took another day off yesterday. I'm not a Christian, but apparently I just can't stand to write on Sundays. LOL. Well, I'm back to work this morning and feeling good about it. I can't believe this month is almost halfway over!

Word count for today: 1,904

Time: 50 minutes

Comments: Yahoo, that's just this morning! Looks like I get to relax and read my book at lunch. Oh, I'm happy about that. I don't seem to have had much of the second week slump I was expecting, which is pretty exciting -- I feel like I'm still just plugging away. Let's hope that continues.
