Things I wrote:

I didn’t do much actual writing this month. I’ve mostly been revising an original novel and not worrying so much about what tracking or quantifying that progress looks like. If I had to ballpark it, I’d say i’m 2/3 done with major revisions. 

A Season for Setting Fires: I also didn’t track words with fic this month, but I published two chapters, drafted one, and revised two others!
