Addendum

Furthermore, let me outline for you what appear to be today's main objectives:

1. Assess incoming work opportunities with the question, "Would I be happy to do this at midnight?" Because in all likelihood, that's when I'll be writing over the coming weeks.

   If I say yes to your project in that time, you can be assured that I keep a deep and abiding love for you locked in a secret corner of my heart, and/or that your project ticks twelve (or more) out of the ten boxes on my Will I Get A Kick Out Of This? checklist.

2. Avoid at all costs setting up interviews with a cherrypicked collection of the world's most prominent digital marketing and writing gurus, to whom I have, overnight, miraculously obtained access.

   At all costs.

3. Stare mindlessly at my Rand McNally map of The Political World, circa 1991. Then make more coffee.
