Added 5.445 words to the Second Draft. It’s going pretty slow at this point.

Very uncharacteristically started ‘reading’ two fiction books at once. I usually read fiction before I go to sleep, but listen to non-fiction in the morning and during breaks. It’s a nice way to stay on top of my reading schedule when pressed for time. But I seem to have exhausted my non-fiction interests for the moment, so I bought an audio version of V.E. Schwab’s A Darker Shade of Magic. I thought keeping track of two extensive storylines was going to be hard, but it's surprisingly not an issue.
On the 'classic' reading side, I finally bit the bullet and started reading Brandon Sanderson’s Stormlight Archive. I hesitated on this series for a reason I'll explain sometime in my newsletter, but I was simply tired of DNFing the last three books I purchased. I'm only a few chapters into the first book (I'm a slow reader), but it's been a worthwhile decision.
