Nearly a month ago, I boldly declared that I was finally taking my book project seriously. And to be fair, I’ve almost kept my promise of writing one page a day — except for the last three days, when Christmas festivities, mulled wine, and repeated “essential” visits to the Christmas market conspired against my productivity. My home office has therefore seen more dust than inspiration lately. Still, progress is progress: I now have a title, and even a simple cover design to prove I’m not just talking about it. With a bit of luck (and fewer festive distractions), I should find both time and creativity in the week ahead.
