After lunch Mira and I spent an hour passing jokes back and forth for the sketch that’s now called “The Art of Directing Adult Films.” Then the sketch comedy club read through a dozen sketch drafts. One of them was my sketch about a boy whose girlfriend breaks up with him while he’s playing Fortnite. An excerpt:

(Not based on real life experience. I promise. But for the record, if my fingers were crossed, you wouldn’t know.)

Finally I spent a tired half hour working on my novel.
