The Voice of Conscience

I was bouncing off some ideas with BT on how to go about completing the month-long writing project. He pledged support to the very end. Eh, make sure you do hor? I need all the motivation I can get.

It suddenly crossed my mind that since I would be outstation for about 6 days next month, I might as well start the writing project 6 days earlier.

But dear BT, being BT said this,
no kenot... cheating wor. no way... you have to write more on the other days in nov... :-)


Talk about having a seared conscience. It's good friends like BT who will remind me of what's the most ethical thing to do.

But that means I have to write about 2,000 words a day.

Ah, the price of having a clear conscience.
