There’s a saying, attributed to Ray Bradbury, that you have to write a million words of crap before you get to the good stuff. Someone mentioned it the other day, and since I was running short of other ways to procrastinate, I got out the calculator. 295,000 words for Eve 60,000 in Donte’s book 83,000 […]
