January was a great month. I finished the first draft of my unnamed novel in The Boy and the Beast series. This sizeable beastie of a novel might get split into two if it keeps growing in the second draft.

I missed only one writing day this month. Not bad. It was a month of editing. And I broke an early morning wake time record when I arose at 2:44am on Jan 17th.
