NaNoWriMo Day 3 Words - Lunar Wolves Book 1
And we are on track for the third day in a row, although it was a close-run thing because I've either eaten something I shouldn't have, or I've picked up a bug.

This edit is complete and I'm almost through the edit on Mack 05. There were shenanigans...and then there was training.
