The whole Ring Binder quest for my Gordian Knot print out turned out to be more difficult than I’d thought. For some reason several shops have decided to kick out plain white Ring Binders in favour of – as the manager of one of them termed it – “fashionable colours”.

But I finally managed to find some today. To be honest I was pretty sure the shop where I found them would still have them, but I was also pretty sure they’d be a bit on the expensive side. It actually wasn’t too bad (€3.25 per binder as opposed to ca. 2.50 at other stores with only “fashionable colours”) but regardless of the cost I’m a bit annoyed at having to go to one specific shop just to get a plain white two ring binder.

But anyway given the difficulty in finding them I decided to go ahead and get 4 of them at once. Since I’ve already decided to print another first draft manuscript, to see if I want to put that one next on the edit list, that just leaves me two spares. And depending on how I count them I have things either completed or in progress already for both of those at least, quite probably for a third.

More distantly I have stuff going on for another 4 of them at least, but I don’t expect any of that to complete a first draft in the (even slightly) near future. Except of course for my NaNoWriMo project for this year. With any luck I’ll need another binder at the end of November.
