As of today, my first draft has both Clinton and Trump in it. Guess which one of them is treated with respect, and which one with cutting subtext.
An unexpectedly satisfying part of writing is making mini-timelines like these ones.They’re sometimes frustrating to piece together (I basically had to rent many old Microsoft Word help books on Internet Archive today), but they help a lot in straightening the story.pic.twitter.com/InjQwubjHr
to go!
This is a keyboard I actually made. It only outputs spaces. Since this is my first keyboard, I call it a “space cadet keyboard.”
I might actually be done with the first draft in a week which is… surreal.pic.twitter.com/BQd8YRJgho
A theme from one of my many, many folders: Languages did never not change, and we did never not worry about them changing.pic.twitter.com/XjoQMl9Skz
Just now, for the first time, I put together in my head the words that will end my book. It was a surprisingly emotional moment. (They might still change, but it doesn’t matter.)
Things I didn’t expect to be doing while writing this book: helping the John F. Kennedy Presidential Library and Museum identify a teleprinter keyboard that was used in the Washington–Moscow cold war hotline.
So.
Yes, I’m not kidding. I just finished writing.
(I… I don’t know what to say. I’ll follow this up with something more useful/interesting/poignant/whatever – eventually – but… I just finished writing.)pic.twitter.com/M58Y21jf3g
Some first draft stats! Each key I mention at least three times, word count, and specific word battles. (If you like those, there’ll be quite a few more + commentary in the new newsletter in a week or so: https://www.getrevue.co/profile/shift-happens/ …)pic.twitter.com/jyuJt6mGCc
