only it's Sunday!
and I only have one day off in my weekend!
and then I work 15 hours on Tuesday.
But then I have another day off!
So it's like...
It's like....

I dunno. It's like having a day off. I'm psyched.

I made a to-do list for tomorrow. And then I had to turn it over and write on the back, because there were too many things. And then there were more things I wanted to do. Christ, when the hell am I going to do all of these things??!

But I'll post Chapter 2 tomorrow. I'm psyched to post Chapter 2.

I am thinking I would like to try to have the whole novel edited by the time Dave graduates, so it can be done and begin submitting to publishers. That's May sometime. So, gotta post enough each week to have the whole thing done by then.

So. Chapter 2 will be up by mid-day tomorrow. Among the bazillion things I have to do tomorrow will be the completion of Ch. 4's editing. I feel like I ought to be at least two chapters ahead at all times. I just haven't been able to do the editing so far. I hope my schedule settles down and I get less damn tired. And I'm still slogging away at two other novels. I'm trying to be disciplined, but when I am so tired, I just can't make myself work on projects unless I'm really into them. So I've been taking the path of least resistance in order to just be getting some words down on [we'll just say paper here].

I am working too many hours. Having days off only singly means that I just can't relax, which means I can't catch up on sleep, which means I can't focus, which means I can't write.
But, i can't afford to work any less, and if they'd let me work more I would. Because I'm not making enough money for both of us, but he still apparently can't find a job.
But I am determined to keep posting this goddamned novel. I am going to finish it, I am going to finish it on some kind of schedule, and I will if it kills me. Even if nobody IRL gives a damn. Whatever: I do.
