Thur 6-27: I’ve been writing all morning, finishing chapter 13 and working my way through chapter 14.  Just two more after that.  Sometimes the number of chapters changes between the outline and the rough draft, but in this case, I think they will stay the same.  I’ve still got almost a week until my self-imposed deadline for the draft, and I’m feeling pretty confident about finishing.

I also just updated the Previews page with a better description of the book.  Of course, I’ll still have to work on that later, but the blurb is the last thing to worry about.

Sat 6-29: All right.  I’ve just finished chapter 14 and am already working on chapter 15.  It’s feeling pretty good.  Now I have to write “the big thing” that I have both been looking forward to writing and dreading at the same time.  It was supposed to be the end of chapter 14, but instead, it’s going to be near the front of 15.  Once I get that done, the rest will just fall together.

Mon 7-1: I’m already into the last chapter.  I finished 15 this afternoon and I expect to finish this chapter by the end of the day Tuesday.  Then it’s time for the first revision.
