The Fireside

Guess what? I’m back at the writing! The other night I wasn’t planning on doing any, and I churned out a page after a quick format check of all my documents. It seems that the manuscript submission guidleines have either changed, or become slightly less strict in the past few years. I like to adhere to those as I write, that way I won’t have to worry about formatting later on. I’m going to try and get more in from time to time, but I take that ‘random spout’ as a good sign.
