Progress

It's been four months of getting up at 6 AM, but I've managed to restructure the half of a book I wrote back in '05. The book now has a first act. I couldn't have adequately explained what a first act is 2 years ago; I've learned a lot from another misplaced Pittsburgher here in Phoenix.

The structural changes resulted in completely gutting about 40 pages and adjusting and improving the rest. I have at least two more months of early mornings to wrap it all up, writing about 2 pages a day, but in honor of this milestone, I've resurrected the word count from so long ago. It's under the 'my book' link over there on the right...

I don't know if anyone will ever want to buy this thing, but I crack myself up. One of the reasons I married my wife is because I like myself better when she's around. The book has the same effect. It doesn't cook as well, and isn't nearly as cuddly, but it makes me smile.

55,000 words, you're cracking right along, Bill! Nice job.

Reminds me of the old Project:DoStuff days.
