I’ve been on holiday since the 20th (hence no Week 11 post). It wasn’t as conducive to writing as I expected, partly because I wanted to make the most of seeing relatives I don’t see any other time of year.
As such, I only wrote one day last week, and 3 days in Week 11. A total of 700 words went towards Conkers.
I did finish reading another book, though: Snow Crash, by Neal Stephenson. I especially liked the way he created suspense.
Whereas Dracula just has a cycle of plans and counter-plans, Snow Crash has counter-plans the heroes don’t spot in time, so they have to take a lot of risks to recover. And not every risk pays off.

While I wasn’t happy with my last few weeks, it looks like they’ve been nicely balanced out by my work early on.
