On the plus side,
48 hours away from this computer and this room were just what the doctor ordered, methinks. Bring on week 3.

** I think there was a glitch in my spreadsheet and a small degree of double counting occurred. This has been ironed out and reflected in this week’s graphs.
I’m still oscillating between including and excluding personal emails. As of today I think that emails are like letters, and writers have their letters collected and made into books all the time (well, sometimes, and once their dead), so why shouldn’t a classic piece of Craig Cliff be included in my quest for a million just because it’s targeted at one lucky recipient?? As the Split Enz song goes:
I will always be a man who’s open to

I've a proposition for you: would a guest post somewhere else count (if you double-posted it here?). I have a slot called "Earworms of the Week" every Friday, where someone (sometimes me, sometimes someone else) gets a showcase to list and talk about the songs or tunes or jingles or whatver that have been buzzing about their heads. That's the thing though: it has to be a list of songs you haven't been able to shake, not just a list of songs you like. Sometimes it's the Kia Ora advert, and sometimes it's just phillipo berrio.
Do you fancy a go sometime?

I sometimes write emails to my friends and think they are the best thing I've written for ages, so I'm for including yours here, if they are witty and interesting.
For some reason I can be funny in emails, but lapse into cringe-worthy earnestness in my fiction. Why? Why? *she sobbed, wringing her hands*
