Night of the long review .........

My reviewing day in four twitter posts:

9pm: how hard can 300 words be to write? quite bloody hard it seems. not a good day

1am: 554 word first draft of the 300 word review done. just got to cut it in half then. poo.

2:30am: draft 2 - 450 words. better but not there yet. can i cut another 100 before hitting bed or will I see the dawn first?

3:19am: 3:19 am - the review's down to 314 words on a 3rd draft. That's it. I'm done. Gin and bed. (but never gin in bed.)

You know, when I said yes to doing these 300 word reviews I figured one a month would be a breeze. Oh ha bloody ha.
