completed the first draft of my novel

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-seven years and one 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.

rand()m quote

I'm pleased and happy to repeat the news that we have, in fact, caught and killed a large predator that supposedly injured some bathers. But, as you see, it's a beautiful day, the beaches are open and people are having a wonderful time.
