Today I made up for the last few days by writing 21 pages (twenty-one). This was probably very close to the record of most pages I wrote in one day during this island man period. Probably about 4000 words. This is 5 times as much as Joseph Conrad used to write per day. It's probably 5 times as good too. Not really. It's probably five times worse than anything Joseph Conrad wrote, but so is most published writing these days.
How did I achieve this? From a few glimpses, I can deduce to an accuracy of about 70% that I wrote a story that had been suggested to me by a meeting I had with a man at a bus stop in Newhaven who talked to me while we waited.
