The Journal, Tuesday, November 13

Hey Folks,

I have no expectation that the story in this novel will end today. But barring any unforeseen omplications in my own life, it will end tomorrow.

I have to go to the doc in Tucson at mid-morning for a routine check on my new pacer-defibrillator (read “make sure I didn’t screw up the doc’s work”).

I guess that was in my mind as I slept.

I rolled out at 1:30 and was in the Hovel before 2. I used up the first hour with nonsense, as I am wont to do, and turned to the novel a little after 3.

I updated the reverse outline and cycled through what I wrote yesterday, but added very little.

I took a break around 4, then finally settled in for the first session around 4:30. A little before 6 I went up to the house to exchange coffee for water. I promised my wife I’d write one more session, then give it up for the day and get ready for our trip.

Talk with you again soon.
