  "textContent": "It's my second full day of writing today, which is marvellous. Still not quite up to a walk in the woods yet, so I'm starting the working day with this daynote, then following my usual routine.\n\n**ON DECK:** This morning's work is a chunk of drafting on Project VAULT, then going back and editing another chunk of work for my crit partners, then outlining _next_ week's work. I'm settling quite nicely into that rhythm, which is fairly reliably producing 6,000 - 8,000 words of new work a week, about the same in edited work and a week's worth of outlined scenes. This was _absolutely_ my hope for what would Writing Fridays would be like, so I'm very pleased that it's coming together like this.\n\nThis afternoon I'm going to do a bit of short story drafting to round out the day. I'm trying to round out each writing day with something new format-wise, or progressing a side project, essentially as a wee treat at the end of the writing week. But also because if you don't make time for a bit of experimentation and trying new things, it can make the rest of the work feel like a bit of an endless slog.\n\n**LISTENING:** Really enjoyed this second Page One/Narrative Damage crossover interview with illustrator, writer and game designer Dennis Detwiller, creator of the Delta Green TTRPG (among many other things). Absolutely fascinating insight into a very different kind of creative writing.\n\n**WATCHING:** We watched a bunch of HOW TO GET TO HEAVEN FROM BELFAST last night. One episode left and it's coming together very well. For a minute there it was kind of right on the line between complex and convoluted, but as it heads into its finale I think its pulling together all the narrative threads in a very satisfying way. While also being very funny.\n\n**READING:** More of THE INFINITE STATE by Richard Swan (_Bookshop.org_, _Waterstones_, _Amazon_) - I think everyone in this book is either being threatened or doing some threatening in the first third. It's a definite insight into how completely fear blankets everything in totalitarian societies.\n\n**LINK:** Yesterday was World Book Day, and from yesterday until Sunday, Waterstones are doing double stamps in store and online. Seems like a fine time to pick up one (or both!) of my books.\n\n**UP NEXT:** Drafting, editing and more! And probably some emails.\n\nOnward!\n\n🔗\n\nSome purchase links on this page are affiliate links, which help support this website and my work.",
