be real
Given the default that people don't do things (I still have a couple
paragraphs to go before finishing "Friendship Practices", a tiny short
story whose draftfile has been sitting in the repo since the very
beginning), it's entirely possible for me to not finish this memoir
before the world ends! (In addition to being short, "Friendship
Practices" doesn't even feature anything particularly painful or
difficult to confront; it just takes a modest amount of writing-effort
to be done correctly, and it's easy to just—never fit in the effort,
over five years.) If I want to avoid the fate of dying incomplete, I
need to do better than my last two and half days—a lot better.
If we can get ten blocks in by 2000, then I'll feel OK about myself
(and plug in my network cable and try out the Stable Diffusion beta).
