No longer trips this summer, but there are beautiful memories of the past trips.
This one is from summer of -23 in French alps

The power of commas & punctuation:

โ€œWill you marry me?โ€ Is a marriage proposal.
โ€œWill, You, Mary, Meโ€ is a foursome proposal.
โ€œWill, you marry meโ€ is a time traveller spoiling the future.

โ€œWill you, Mary meโ€ is a cavewoman trying to make Will, who has amnesia, remember who he is.

Fernande Clouet, 1904. In 1904 a 10 km motorcycle match between Mrs. Clouet and Miss Herveux took place, and has been covered by French press (the snippets below are from 'La Vie au grand air', 'Armes et sports' and 'Le Monde sportif').

Iโ€™m trying to keep off from the final draftโ€ฆ otherwise Iโ€™ll be just polishing it into eternity

And as such it is just a very beginning of the first draft, it is ok to be clunky and awkward. But I keep trying to polish it right away and get stuck there again.
That is what should happen in later drafts, now I just need to write the story. I can fill it up and polish it in future drafts
