Okay, so I have the iTunes soundtrack/playlist started (67 songs so far, but I have more work to do), I have my "chapter breakdowns" done for the first 5 chapters so far, and I even got up at 5 a.m. today and tweaked the most recent chapter. Looks like getting up at the crack o' dawn is the only way I'll get work done -- I just can't find the time or energy to be creative at any other point in the day.

The plan is to jam out this first draft by May 1st. With June 1st as a backup. And my birthday (I'm gonna be 38 on 6/13, crap!) as a second backup...



So... woo woo for progress! I'll try not to bore you with too many of the details of the novel process this go-round. I'll just be happy with my four pages a day... Later!
