Quarantine Project Day 14

 

So this promising run of verb-reckoning and noun-tallying had to come crashing down in a wrecked abacus, and day fourteen has nought to offer but a swan's nest with one egg in it.  There is however a good reason for the zero.

I was invited to give a Keynote Speech at the Writers Industries Conference.  So I dropped all work on the novel to focus on that.  The conference attracted a lot of writers, many known to me, many not, and I ended up spending quite a lot of time thinking about what I did - and didn't - want to say about the industry.  (The speech will shortly be available in a podcast soon for anyone who is interested in what I did say.)  The wordcount for the speech was 6000+ (not just done on this day) but I can't count it in the Quarantine Project.  Can I?  No, guess not.

The Conference came and went over the week-end.  There was a crackle of  energy at the event and I don't know about everyone else but it left me feeling optimistic.  Big thanks to Damien Walter and Aly Stoneman and their crew for organising a busy and compacted day.

So here's your first egg of the series.  Wordcount 0.
