The pack of ready-peeled prawns I bought yesterday came with an attached recipe that started, "Peel and devein shrimp: reserve shells." (It also had a ridiculously involved sauce, so I wasn't intending to try it anyway.)

I need to write about a thousand words today to preserve my self-respect. No, I haven't started yet, and I'm much inclined to navel-gaze about why I even bother to try, or have a shot at baking brownies, instead.

Need to write faster! Or procrastinate less, or something. This week's plan was to write 1000 words a day, to make up for last week's delinquency, but what I actually got was two 1000-word days, a three-day hiatus, a 2000-word day, and today when I squeezed out a bit under 1000 just to keep the daily average at 500/day for the year so far.
