The Journal, Friday, March 23

Hey Folks,

Well, the copyedit came in.

The plan was to copyedit the first few hours of the morning, then spend the rest of the day writing.

But some glitches occurred today that kept me from going onto my own writing. I went out to the Hovel a few times, but was always called away.

Finally I gave up on writing today and decided to focus on the copyedit.

As I was doing that, I decided since the weekend’s coming up, I’ll plan to work only on the edit tomorrow and Sunday too. That should finish it (early) and I can get back to my novel on Monday. And I’ll still have six full days to finish it this month.

It doesn’t really matter whether I finish it in this month, but that would be nice.

So that’s where I am. Probably there won’t be a Journal tomorrow or Sunday.

See you again soon.
