It’s Day #79.  I have 21 days to go.

Three weeks.

My heart does a little flip-flop when I read those words.  And not in a good way.

I am behind.  So behind.

But hopeful.

I have six chapters to go.  Six chapters in three weeks.

It’s a lot.  And if I try to write a new blog post every day, it’ll most certainly be too much.  (Yes, if it weren’t for this blog, I probably (okay, definitely) would have finished the book already.  But if it weren’t for this blog, I wouldn’t be enjoying the book or my sweet baby as much as I am.)

So, starting today, my posts will read more like updates.  I’ll tell you where I am and how I’m doing.  I might vent about the writing process, or I might be too wrapped up in the writing process to vent about it.  I might do one daily update or several.  I dunno.  The point is to limit the time I spend blogging so I can maximize the time I spend booking and babying.  As for boy, he can wait.  (Just kidding.)  (Kind of.)

Six chapters.  Three weeks.

There’s my heart again.  Flipping and flopping all over the place.

Okay, so here we go.  It’s crunch time.
