Progress Report: Week 4 February 2013

So, this week started out a little bit slower than I’d hoped, but that’s usually the way when you’re tidying up the loose ends of several tasks. Progress comes in many forms, and I’m starting to find that the writing is the easy part… but if you want to make a living off your writing, it has to be available for people to buy. Decisions, decisions…Tier 2 Goals
