So, writing is hard. My strategy is to be like the dog who cloaks himself in stink and not care so much about the quality of what I write as I write it — to just go — but it’s going to be a slog. I thought I could easily knock out the daily 1,667 words but at about 400 words I thought, “Oh, right, this won’t be easy.” If it was easy everyone would do it.

Anyway, I wrote 1,685 words today.
