Small Victories

The afternoon run at the phones wasn't as successful as I had hoped, though I did get an invitation to teach shorthand. It's a thought, I guess, though why anyone would want to learn such an Arcane Art in these days of Digital Everything is more than I can figure.

Writing today consisted of rewriting the chapter that I thought was in the can, TWICE, and making some very little bit of forward motion on the next. Say it again, how "throwing together" an organic novel isn't work.

Progress, if you can call it that, on the Book Without a Name

It's exact wording of quotes and the like from interviews I was thinking of; I do do speed writing for note taking, though I'm so used to the keyboard, that none of my note taking is as swift as it used to be--though that's not something shorthand could really solve anyway, I suppose.

I've come to a compromise system of speed-writing combined with a recording, with notes as to where in the recording to search for quotes I want to grab.
