Finished another 10/11 pages of the novella today, a lot of new ideas and sections original to this draft. Glad to say that things are going fairly smooth on this and with any luck will have it finished soon.

Started off the morning by typing up some old, unfinished manuscripts I have laying around in an effort to clean up my office and get rid of all the loose papers stored in a filing cabinet. Most of it is stuff I'll either never get around to finishing or isn't worth the effort to continue working on anyway, but I don't want to throw it out, either, so I economize on physical space and keep it stored on the computer.

Writing tip of the day, always write out first drafts longhand on paper. As great as computers are, they are fickle and prone to crashing or accidentally wiping out your entire story with a slight tap on a key, or any number of other electronic malfunctions that could occur. Writing on paper insures your masterpiece won't accidentally be deleted and force you to rewrite the manuscript all over again from scratch.
