Then the rest of November... no writing 🫠. So I'm aiming for a practice of at least 2.5 hours per week for December. Today was 2hr15min, 3117 words. A little on Connecting the Corners, and more on collapse and oppression.

And did a good chunk today - 2hrs, 2875 words - about religion, empire, oppression, and more on the call to #SacredActivism. Most of it dictated while on a nice walk. Started the clean-up of AI attempt to transcribe, but will need lots more work. #NaNoWriMo - ish.
