Posted this a few days too early, but it’s the March 2016 story of the month:
The thing I’m working on is flowing.
I honestly think it’s the routine, not any sort of skill or inspiration on my part, just the simple fact every weekday at seven am I sit down in a cafe with ninety minutes before I start work, and I’m able to write. I push out maybe 7-1200 words. And when I finish I have an idea of what will come the next day too, but not too clear an idea, just a direction, so I can sit down the next day and pick up the flow again.
Someone has had the bright idea to send me three or four dozen spam messages every day, so apologies if I accidentally delete yours when I’m getting rid of the junk.
If I don’t reply in two or three days, message me again.
Came across a radio adaptation of Orlando while checking the BBC website.
Listen to it here:
For those who don’t know the story, essentially an extended love letter from Virginia Woolf to Vita Sackville West, more prosaically it’s about a boy, Orlando, who doesn’t die, and who eventually turns into a girl.
It works both ways.
Wiley, from the Elmore Leonard novel Mr. Majestyk.
