fooled by the weather network

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-seven years and one million words

Toronto, 2013.07.31

For the first time in months, I took the TTC to work today. The weather channel had me convinced that I'd be cycling through 5-10mm of rain. Instead, I trundled about the city in a bus, two subways, and on foot under skies that rapidly cleared to sunny conditions. That cost me $5.60, o weather network.

Remove everything that has no relevance to the story. If you say in the first chapter that there is a rifle hanging on the wall, in the second or third chapter it absolutely must go off. If it's not going to be fired, it shouldn't be hanging there.

—Anton Chekhov
