When we reach $500 I'll be able to dedicate 10 days a month full-time to this project at my Siem Reap desk – we're still a long way off our big goals, but it's something. I’ll spend my time doing full days of desk research and writing, transcribing interviews I’ve done, and writing draft chapters, rather than squeezing in a couple of hours in here and there as I have been all these years.
