I rounded for inaccuracies because it was an appropriate guesstimate.

What did you write?

Edit: Also, doesn't 31/366 look like January didnt do anything to the year?

Mine isn't the best voice to tackle social justice. Let other, more qualified and interesting voices take that up.
feels good to see this kind of self-examination on the board, I thank you :)

Working on a new novel, an idea that I've been kicking around for a looooong time. Not going in sequence, and using lots of time to sketch out ideas, outline, brainstorm, organize. I have something like 28,000 words so far in just over a month, would be happy if 5000 are usable.

Yeah, there's so much time left in the year, it's ridiculous. Still not even 1/10 of the way in.

Since the Chinese are on holiday or dying from the plague, I decided to take one more pass on book three. It turns out it really needed it, but I think I'm happy with it now.

Still going strong! Now at 54 days, put another way:
I'm actually going to refocus a bit and think about turning one "chapter" I've been working on into a short story, sort of like a proof-of-concept for the whole thing. Might share that. Submit it somewhere. idk.
