Well, I think I decided I’m going to go for the project with the working title “A Wizard’s Work,” mainly because I want to get away from European-esque fantasy and castles and do something a little different. So we’re going to be writing in 1880s America.
The only real problem I have is that I [...]

Well then.

It’s getting near to time, and I’m still not ready–I outlined part of one of my stories, only to decide to switch at the last second. So now I’m attempting to outline that–and on top of everything, it’s midterms. Hoo boy.
