Right now, it’s a great month when I get 5000 words written. On Rebels, that is. My actual writing time at the moment all goes into:
- Managing a $10-12m per year charity by email
- Global fundraising to keep our charity hospitals open despite the COVID related crash in patient revenue
- New legal/governance documents for a trust we’re creating to help us renew our hospital agreement with an uncooperative government ministry
- Framework documents for reopening our field offices (health and safety, future evac plans, contingency scenarios, etc.)
- Revised negotiating/legal strategy around our headquarters property, which both the government and a billionaire are trying to expropriate from us
- New job descriptions and revised team structures as key people leave their jobs
- Communications around a sexual harassment allegation involving one of our partner NGOs
- Recruitment documents for my successor (two years from now, but that’s how long it’s taken to fill the job the last couple times)
On all of that I’m hitting 2-3 million words a month, easy, but actually counting would only depress me. 
But let’s see if I can add 10k to Rebels in August.
