Writing the First Draft of My First Novel 01
In the spirit of finishing all the old stuff and not starting new stuff, I have been working on a fiction story I started and then abandoned previously.

Sigh…I ran into all types of issues while trying to put this track together…but I won’t bore you with the details :) I thought this track up while…walking down an empty hallway at work.
