Goal 6. Generate New Work: Read a little more of Stephen Leacock's Sunshine Sketches of a Little Town in relation to the NaNoWriMo project I'm considering. Though that was connected to the workshop proposals I'm not going to be making. The more I read of Sunshine Sketches, the less likely I think it is that I'll be able to use it as a frame for a contemporary story. So I've changed my mind about the setting, which means I've also changed my mind about the characters.

Discussed the picture book that seems as if I'll never finish at writers' group Monday night. The draft I brought them was a huge change from what they'd seen before. I came away with some major tweeks. But they are just tweeks. Except one is a climactic tweak. Those are always hard.
