I've never kept track of my story progress this way like some other people. But I'm giving it a stab.

I'd mentioned outlining 3 Trek short stories for this year's SNW contest. I've since come to loathe one of them and found another to be problematic. Right now, I'm eking out the first. I'm seven handwritten pages into it. Don't know how many pages that'll translate to when typing it out or how many words, but it's a fair start. I know this'll be a sweet tale. I just have to finish the first draft, which I'm doing in my slow, if steady way.

To paraphrase Confucius: "It matters not how slowly one goes, so long as he does."

Maybe I'll start counting words soon.

Oh, on another note, I finished reading the current draft of "XPERTS: The Telekinetic" and gave my impressions to Critter captain Andrew Burt. I won't go into detail, but in a nutshell, the story and universe didn't do anything for me personally.
