Howdy, folks! my plans for today have changed as I’ll be working this afternoon/evening now. So I’m going to try and repeat what I did yesterday and write for a couple of hours before leaving for work.
I was super happy with how Penal Earth went yesterday. I liked the direction it took and I’m eager to get cracking on it today. I can see the end in sight now and feel positive about having this draft done by the end of the month. I feel the next draft may have a lot of tweaks but hopefully they’ll just be filling out world building elements, and not maybe plot points.
One thing I have been thinking about is for book two I might use a lot of the elements from the original draft I wrote for NaNo years ago. I still like a lot of the elements that it had and think it works better as a second book as I won’t have to do as much world building this second time around.
I’m not going to just retrofit that first draft though. I’m going to start from scratch using what I remember and go from there. I think that’ll be more manageable. Not that I’m going to get to this one anytime soon. There’s at least three big projects to work on before I even think about Penal Earth 2.
I really do need to sit down and review where I am with projects and look at my goals for the next twelve months. Before we know it December will be rolling to an end and 2021 will be here.

Nice job and nice board… whatever it says, lol… as long as you can read it. That’s how I do it!

Excellent. Don’t forget to send us your end of the year for The Mando Method… trust me, even if you think you failed, you won’t be alone… and then we’ll look ahead to 2021

Are you left handed? Almost everyone’s handwriting is messy on a whiteboard, but your writing slants like maybe you’re left handed. Except second grade teachers, they’re whiteboard writing is super neat because they’ve had LOTS of practice.
I did write yesterday, but it was weird. I’m doing a snowman story for this month’s writing group assignment. Snowman . . . eh, maybe I can put fangs on it or something!

No, I’m very dominantly right handed. I’m dyspraxic which might explain the hand writing, but the slanting is because the white board is above my desk and I have to stand off to the side a little to write on it š

I had to look up your fancy vocab word. Yep, that could explain the handwriting. Ah, I understand the slant now.

Probably not the best placement but it means I can see it easily from where I sit š
