Is it any wonder that I'm writing a time travel book?

The soapbox for your new novel sounds great! With global warming and climate/environmental issues being a hot topic, the idea of people being “sponges” for all of humanity’s filth and how we’re the only thing we properly dispose of is a brilliant notion. Can’t wait for it’s release! (next year???)

Btw, I started the ten weeks of writing project that I said I’d keep to in yesterdays post. I did the math and worked out that if I stuck to writing for a certain amount time and and hit so many words per day, by the end of the 10 weeks/summer I’ll have a 200+ page book give or take (which is what I’m aiming for). I recall Douglas Coupland once saying that his average word count for a day was 450-500 words and that once he had his words it gave him a kind of protective shield; the rest of the day could be “a flaming bag of dog shit”. I think the man may have been onto something with that.

Hope everyone has a great time at workshop tonight! Always remember that the mic stand makes for a decent weapon should the crowd turn on you.
