     The first pass at the fourth draft of "1 is True..." is now complete. It rings in pretty much right at 13,000 words, many of which I'm actually happy with. Sarcasm abounds here, right?

     I feel pressure releasing as I think about it. I'm several days behind where I wanted to be, and it's good to emerge from the cloud. I'll admit to being a bit concerned with the ending, though. I feel like everything is there, but that it's a little rushed at this point.

     I figure I'll give it another language pass over the next day or two, then decide if the last 3,000 words or so need changing--which, if the answer is "Yes" (which it sometimes is), then it almost certainly menas that some stuff in the beginning sections need to change to support the new direction.

     But that is all neither here nor there. Writing is a solitary, sometimes slow, oftentimes painful process. I've passed a milestone. right now is one of those times where I need to pat myself on the back.

     So I am.


        


     Have a good one.
