I finished my 28th story in 30 days, which is fantastic.  I&#8217;d hoped when I came here to write first drafts of 20-30 stories, so this is great (and on the high end of what I&#8217;d hoped for).  In addition, I have the start of three additional stories (and notes on another 5 or 6 I&#8217;ll write in the next few weeks).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Any way you slice it, that&#8217;s pretty great.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"577\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/echoesoficeland.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/20231130_105436-577x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-987\" srcset=\"https:\/\/echoesoficeland.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/20231130_105436-577x1024.jpg 577w, https:\/\/echoesoficeland.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/20231130_105436-169x300.jpg 169w, https:\/\/echoesoficeland.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/20231130_105436-768x1364.jpg 768w, https:\/\/echoesoficeland.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/20231130_105436-865x1536.jpg 865w, https:\/\/echoesoficeland.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/20231130_105436-1153x2048.jpg 1153w, https:\/\/echoesoficeland.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/20231130_105436-2000x3552.jpg 2000w, https:\/\/echoesoficeland.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/20231130_105436-600x1066.jpg 600w, https:\/\/echoesoficeland.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/20231130_105436-1200x2131.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/echoesoficeland.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/20231130_105436-scaled.jpg 1441w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 577px) 100vw, 577px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I left around noon to go back to the house and do some cleaning and packing so I&#8217;m not stuck doing all that late tonight, then headed back down and did a bit more work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here are a few photos from today.
