new helium article: http://www.helium.com/items/2415699-how-to-count-in-spanish-spanish-jess-howe-counting-numbers. I hadn't done tech writing for a bit but I think I might get back into doing it, at least 1x/week. If nothing, it's a tiny bit of extra income.
a tiny bit yesterday... I'll start with some more worldbuilding
writing's been spotty though I managed 30 mins today and some the other day
3hrs 15 mins of a new story: one for the Soul Garden!

1hr 30 mins blog
2hr vlog post at WANATtibe.com...
2hrs 15 on Buink's story - whoah yeah!
1hr = new story
4:30-6am today, first I wrote a (likely bad) poem, then worked on "things that are joyous"
45 mins on a writing prompt
well, I spent a good while trying to figure out my best experiences... and I realized that for me at least, to make the list didn't necessarily mean they had to be entirely positive, more that they needed to be things I learned something from, or got something out of. So they're really the most meaningful experiences for me.
chapter 17 of Yarrow - it's open-ended, because it could be the end of the tale, and it is for the moment. Maybe forever. I left some things to speculation,or at least possibility.
done some lists, and worked on more of writing via a writing prompt... hm, led me into a darker area of Zagga

shoddy amounts of writing... tiny bit of brainstorm yesterday and nada the day before:(... then 2hrs characterization today

30 more mins Medunkna worldbuilding (map making)
this morning: 30 mins worth of Medunkna worldbuilding... very useful, it needed more depth
did chapter 15 of "Yarrow's Tale" (www.fanfiction.net). I'm happy with it. So that's my writing for the day, thus far.
45 mins today so far: I'm trying to see how much I can do this morning (while my cat stares at me reminding me to eat)... dndkritter and writing maintenance
more writing: about an hour more! this is exactly the push I needed:)
