The Woods Before the Meadow, page 242

GOOD NEWS, had an exchange with my editor, who has given me an extra week. Yes, that means I don't have to hand over the manuscript until Monday the 19th. I do not plan, actually, on having it that long. But it is good to have the pressure lifted. Very good.

I just ended a chapter on page 242. And unless I'm mistaken, I have one chapter to go. So I guess this draft of the manuscript will end right around page 250. We'll see. I made good headway today, so I feel like I should have more time to write today, that it's still early. It's 15:17. Yet, I can't push myself anymore. I've been going since before 06:00, at a good rate. I tried to keep going, because I want badly to finish, but realized immediately I was suffering from Acute Mojo Depletion. So tomorrow I begin again, before the dawn. And perhaps I shall finish the first draft of my first novel on such a notable and magnificent Saturday.

And then, of course, many edits. And many illustrations!
