					<description><![CDATA[I was so late getting out the October 1 update, that I decided to roll it into November. But I don&#8217;t think you&#8217;ll mind. Because in the meantime, I&#8217;ve been full-throttle on writing my book, and I&#8217;m getting close to the end! Progress Report! As I close out October, I have only a little more [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[You wouldn&#8217;t know it by this post being a week late, but August was actually a decent month for writing. The end just got a little blown to hell. First the good news: Breyik I is Ahead of Schedule! My target for the end of August was to have 100,000 words written and Act 2 [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Good News: The Words Are Flying OK, so I&#8217;ll start with the good news, first: I am making great progress on the still untitled Breyik I. I have kept to the daily word count, often exceeding it, and am over 70,000 words into the rough draft, which would be more than half way if not [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[In my last post here, five months ago(!), I shared my promotion at my day job. Then I promptly disappeared. That was no coincidence. While I am grateful for the promotion and what it said about my bosses faith in me, it has honestly taken a huge mental and physical toll. The extra work and [&#8230;]]]></description>

I catch myself writing the previous year all the time, and the problem has only gotten worse since moving to Japan and having to factor in Imperial Era years at work. All of our budgeting and planning runs on the Imperial [&#8230;]]]></description>

Last month, I was in the US for business, but every time I go back, it reminds me how happy I am to have chosen Japan as my home.

Writing on the Road Yes, Pittsburgh, in case you missed it from last month&#8217;s update. I&#8217;m just passing through for the day job, but it offered a good [&#8230;]]]></description>
