Even though each of us has unique plans / genres / audiences for those words that we are going to wrestle with, we all have one thing in common: We are authors.
Also, I'm playing around with a signature code that will enable each of us to have an idea what you are currently working on. Granted, writing is like cooking; there are probably a number of different 'spicy' ideas in your mental cupboard. So the 'signature code' is more for what you are working on or concerned with today.
Here's the Signature's breakdown:
How Far Along Are You:
Searching
Plotting
