Writing in the Park

A folding chair in a weirdly sunny-and-windy park wouldn’t normally be my first choice for where to write… but the local government has put together a program that pays teens to organize younger kids who drop by into fun activities… so, that shifts things.

All I have to do is be somewhere in the park, and they’ll keep my nine-year-old wholesomely busy and happy for hours while I write. This has allowed me to get 8k written on my sci-fi horror novel in the last 1.5 weeks.

If I can keep up my current pace — which feels both extremely reasonable and extremely ambitious in a sort of quantum state — then I could possibly finish this novel in the next six weeks. That would be really awesome.
