Day 21 Wordcount: 3093 (Glint of a Ruin, Short Story #6) And the story is FINISHED! It took all day, but it’s done. What a relief! This story wasn’t easy. It fought me every step of the way, but I kept at the 100-word sprints to get it done. In talking with another author about having [...] This is a post that might be better right before one of the big writing events, but it seems appropriate to place after the blog post about the finished first drafts of the novellas.
