mmm, made this West African chicken stew tonight. absolutely delicious. after four or five dishes in the last couple of weeks that Jake would have sold for his catering business, I’m going to consider my goal of improving at cooking this year…achieved!!!

this Daugment outline just wrote itself. considering that a Good Sign.

I’m also pledging to do my best to write stream of consciousness this year, like I do my notes, because a) that’s the right tone to strike for 3rd person limited narrative from Pit’s point of view and b) I’m more likely to crank through my 2k words per day within a reasonable hour if I’m not censoring myself constantly, and swearing and things when I get stuck.

reason I’m not worried about editing it later is because I did take my time crafting the G&K prose, and goddamn it still took me six months to edit.
