BN30 - June 17th 2026

Today, instead of doomscrolling I:

1. Started working through the exercises in the Making of a Story by Alice Laplante.

2. Wrote my morning pages

3. Listed the items in a characters bag. My obsession with EDC continues, even in the world of fiction. It was a battered brass Zippo lighter, a vintage Parker Pen 51, in black with a battered rolled gold cap, and an ancient St Bruno Rough Cut tobacco tin full of his grandfather’s cufflinks.
