Day 8 check in

Day 8 draws to a close at last. I have written 26,170 words in my short (HAH) tale of stellar conflict, hubris, and the indomitable human condition.

Which is really short hand for just getting things going good, so buckle in there’s a lot more writing to go before this novel can be called closed. I am beginning to suspect that this might be the novel that I actual redraft all the way through and let real humans read (not just the fake ones), but best not to get too far ahead of myself.

I don’t know if you can see it in the mugshot, but the first layer of the beard is in – a nice, dark, matte of hair giving my face enough shade and outline in these photos that I look like I might be a Simpson’s character in a 4-D movie.

Off to relax a little!
