Like you, I don't worry too much about how pretty my first draft looks. One of my writing instructors said it best: "Puke it out...Mop it up."

It's in the 50s here today, and I'm going to enjoy it while I can. Got some work done on the historical today, and got my cell phone up and running, so it's been a good day.

I keep going back and making the words shine. I'm a few days (depending on my strength) away from finishing the proposal. Then I'll go back to my normal writing process. <br /><br />I hope. <br /><br />We had lovely weather here in Greater St Louis yesterday. I don't know what it's supposed to do today.
