Planning to edit with rose, and blue, and green, and so on tinted glasses
So today I hit 90,000 words, and passed it by another half a K. That’s about when it really clicked that I’m not going to be able to finish the re-write by the 5th of July. Instead of 2500 a day, I’ve been … Continue reading
The World Cup Beers, and 87,258 words.
So, I didn’t really do any writing yet today. I could give fancy reasons, but instead I think I’d better just document what I’ve been up to. Brazil VS Chile, & Columbia VS Uruguay. I didn’t necessarily pick the perfect beers for … Continue reading

Unexpected Thai, free Americans, and 76,093 reasons to keep going
Only wrote 1477 of a planned 2500 today. I blame really tasty thai dinners that unexpectedly pop out of nowhere when neighbours bang on the door saying they’re hungry and going out, and would we both like to come along? … Continue reading
