So... I started setting aside [an hour a day to write](http://modoiocor.tumblr.com/post/27747186864/writing-again) a couple weeks ago. Except for Tuesday nights (which is reserved for D&D), I've been able to keep to it. It's actually working well. I know I don't spend enough ink on describing actions and the setting of the scenes and too much on dialogue. Which is, perhaps, the inverse of what those who know me well might think... But the story is starting to flow. I _still_ have no idea where it's really going, and what's going to happen along the way. There are several things that I will need to go back and review and research when working on a second draft, but it feels good to put pen to paper and see the story spill out across the page. --- Catching up on links...

Interesting bits for Pi Day, closing a few tabs - An interesting [article on Facebook's intrusive algorithms](http://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2012/03/i-didnt-tell-facebook-im-engaged-so-why-is-it-asking-about-my-fianc/254479/) and the extra questioning they do, [via @bruces](https://twitter.com/#!/bruces).
