Three hundred days away from 5,000! Holy crap. That will be a wild marker, for sure. Well past the ten year mark. Feels significant, somehow.

Pushed hard today on the outline. Two of three main climaxes down. One (and a half) to go. And then the wrap-ups. I can get it all done Monday, I think. I’ll try for tomorrow, but Monday is probably most realistic. And then I’ll write the damn thing. Probably just over another 100 pages. Ish. We’ll see. The book will be shy of 500, though. Certainly. He says, tempting the fates.

I need to stop reading about AI. It makes me anxious. I played a little too much Witcher today, too, feeling a bit zonked from that. I just, man, I’m so singularly focused on getting this book done. I can’t hardly do anything else. It takes up all my energy. All my focus. And I’m almost done, but damn. I’m so consumed by it. Really looking forward to actually being done. Really really really.

Night night.
