I want each and every one of us to reach our writing goals on the year. Make a decision to make it so for yourself.
What your goals are is up to you. You are not in a race with anyone but yourself and your time left alive. You are in a race with your procrastination and excuses.

New scam today!
An email, apparently from the Press Association, saying I've used their images without permission and owe them lots of money.
