August 2023 Daily Writing: Week 1 Recap

August. Lovely month. Named for a Roman chap. Good month to write in. Here’s Week 1.

Welp, we’re a month in Q3 2023, and there’s no guarantee that September is going to be any more or less busy for me, so I guess I’ll write in August…

Lovely month.

Named for a Roman chap.

So, again, Cottage Week is not a great environment to write daily-ly in, nor a great environment for the Linear Progression of Time. All of which is to say that posting the Week 1 Recap of my August Daily Writing Practice got a little held up, but here is it.

So, yeah, things’ll be touch and go until Saturday, but I’ll keep plugging away at this Daily Writing project all month long.
