completed the first draft of my novel

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-eight years and a million words

Kokubunji, 2021.08.28

By finding an hour or so per day I've managed to rewrite a novel from scratch in the course of six weeks or so. It's not overly long, about 65,000 words or one tome of "Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy". It should be an easy read.

I'm going to see if I can get it published.

I am, somehow, less interested in the weight and convolutions of Einstein's brain than in the near certainty that people of equal talent have lived and died in cotton fields and sweatshops.
