CM Simpson: Writer & Gamer

Yes, it's late - again, but life has happened. The next progress report will be tomorrow and then we'll be kinda caught up. The chance of major life changes blew in this week, and threw me a bit of a curve ball. I’ve been following two paths for so long, I hadn’t really noticed when they started to diverge. I will have to choose between them soon, and life may be giving me a little nudge. Either way, it was a very disrupted week, and I was also not well, but writing still got done, new ideas were wrangled and stories continued to be uploaded. Not a bad week, really.   Overview New words produced: 1,490 Old words revised: 0 Works completed: 0 Works revised: 0 Covers created: 0 Works published: 0 Works submitted: 0 Competitions Entered: 0 Bloggery: 683   Publishing Tasks Created 4 blog posts for this blog; Formatted and uploaded Basofi’s Choosing to Draft2Digital; Formatted and uploaded C.M.

Studied for another test the week of May 10-16, and prepared three more assessment items, so I did not get as much done as I would have liked, but I did get as much done as I should have expected… in all bar the writing field.

Going over the story records I've been updating, I've noticed I missed putting some titles up, and I'll be working to fill in those gaps as well.

Chosen as the Key Bearer and Door Finder for a race of exiled dragons, Anna soon finds herself being hunted by a nightmare from local legend, while racing against a mining magnate set to make his fortunes by turning the dragons int...
