Thanks... it is going well :) I've mustered up some faith that words will come out whenever I sit down to write. It's allowed me to chill out some about it all.

I wish we could "like" these comments. Glad the writing is going well. I try to read your blog at least a couple of times a week. I don't always have time for commenting. Your progression gives me inspiration! Thank you!!

"liking" would be a nice feature!

Putting this story in a blog has been highly motivational toward progression. If I go more than two days without writing I start to feel guilty... like I'm letting any readers down. I know I'd hate to wait more than a week for the next small part of a story, so I try not to do that to anyone else.
