Progress really slowed down on Rice Tea. The main factor was the starting of the new job. For my first weeks there, I’d just come home from work and collapse. On some days, I went to bed at 7PM. I could not do any university work or writing.
Then I had two days where they had nothing for me to do at work. So I wrote. And wrote. In fact, I wrote twenty pages. As a point of comparison, I had only managed to write two pages since I had started my new job.
I’ve now reached the 100 page milestone. Don’t count on returning to summer-level production. Perhaps in three weeks, after my job here is done, and university is complete (forever!), I’ll have the time I need.
The next update on this blog pertaining to Rice Tea will be to tell you that it’s done. Keep up to date on the book’s own website, ricetea.ca!
