The last “block” of Book III fell into place with the completion of the swordfight at, um, 2:15 am this morning. So between now and January 1, there are decisions to be made, and multiple rewrites/cleanups to be done. More text may need to be added (transition cues, scenes that now, though not formerly, need enhancement.) About 4-6 weeks of work is going to have to be accomplished in 10 days, two of which are Christmas Eve (when I have two church services to attend and one to sing in) and Christmas (when I won’t be working on the book–I’ll be sleeping and recovering from Christmas Eve.) Plus a necessary social thing on 12/26 (annual party at close friend’s house given by her kids…not missing that.) Hence, “writer as whirlwind.”
