first draft of latest novel within sight

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-seven years and one million words

Kokubunji, 2021.08.22

I've completed the plot for the first draft of my rewrite of a novel I first wrote from 1990 - 1994. It feels great to finally have it sorted. I expect to have the writing done in a week.

rand()m quote

I'd see the publicity guy come on the set and I'd go hide in the rafters. The crew would be like, ‘I haven't seen him.' And then they'd leave and I'd go back to work. Because that's what's fun: the doing, not the talking.

—Kurt Russell
