I’m currently writing one titled Madeleine, which I initially misspelt as Madeline because you see, I’ve never eaten one of these shell sponge cakes that apparently a maid with the same name came up with. I say I’m in the process of writing it, but all I have is the crossed-out title and the correctly spelt one side by side, both circled with a pencil. I would’ve drawn a line under the words because I want to be a good underliner who can draw straight lines under special words and phrases, but my pencil is unsteady. It drags out something resembling someone’s heart rate on a monitor.
