      I’m now at ten chapters left (including the intro and outro!), so I am doing A GIANT COUNTDOWN TO THE FIRST DRAFT. I will celebrate each chapter with a PR stratagem of posting a selfie with a keyboard I own. I don’t really do selfies, ever, so this will be… new. 🔟!!!pic.twitter.com/ciWtN399pd

      By the way, as I’m doing the necessary research, I am absolutely falling in love with Chinese and Japanese, and the histories behind their writing systems. I had no idea. You could spend your whole life studying those, and it would be a life well spent.

      Whoa, I just managed to write “weather” in Japanese using a romaji keyboard, a hiragana keyboard, and by drawing the kanji shapes directly on my trackpad. It took me a few hours to get there, giving me a net speed of about… 0.02 wpm. But I feel rather accomplished! AMA.pic.twitter.com/Pb4Wqhc0qf

      So at a house party yesterday, someone used my Canon Cat to write a story in which I was a… dragon, complete with a drawing. The cat itself makes an appearance, too. I basically could not be happier right now.pic.twitter.com/pSChnTRxFx
