Writing in Public - Year 1, Month 1, Day 4

Michael Salsbury
I am continuing my adoption of Dean Wesley Smith's Writing in Public challenge of the past couple of years.  This is a way to very publicly follow Robert Heinlein's famous five rules of fiction writing.

Today at the office, I worked from 7:40am to 3:40pm without a lunch break.  I was home a little after 4pm.  Sat down and read some more of the Harry Harrison ghost-written The Saint book and rested a bit.  Then mixed up a batch of starter wort for the Gulden Draak yeast I captured Sunday.  It seemed to be doing well last night but stopped overnight, so I figured a fresh batch of malt might get it reproducing again.  There's a post about all this on my beer blog.  I also wrote a review of a Columbus beer that, as I learned while writing it, has been discontinued by the brewery.

I did a bit of writing on the Introduction to Application Repackaging blog, which won't see its scheduled publish time come around until February 2015.
