So many delicious tidbits and morsels in this short post! Let the turkey rest before carving! Is Justin on Substack?

I love writing by hand. I use a tombow fudenoske brush pen and am a sucker for a new moleskine.

I wrote 1600 words today for my substack publication! Because I have so many different projects + creative responsibilities going on at once, I'm trying to spread this 1000 words challenge across those projects. It's definitely helping me come back to the page even when I think I might be too tired or too busy etc.

I'm so behind, and yet I persist.

Scraped 1020 from the depths today. Work, children’s clubs and my wife’s birthday all took priority, but I ducked in and out of my chapter all day. A paragraph here, a line of dialogue there and some late night persistence and I’ve fallen over the line, tired but satisfied at hitting the target again. This post kept me going. Thanks.

I’m going to try writing by hand today, thanks! Sage advice around the laptop - too many diversions.

I am still not sure my turkey is done but I am so happy to be doing this! I am at 5,229 words total. Hoping at some point it will begin to take the shape of a delicious meal.
