Journal Entry
Added 410 words to push
October 29th 2001 at 6:01 am
Added 410 words to push the night’s total up to a nice even 1K. My fave. I’m getting to the ’showdown’ section of the piece. I have about 600 words left. I think I may need an epilogue, but I’m not sure. I have the end thought out a bit, but I’m seriously considering how to effectively compress it a bit. Either way, I’m looking forward to completing this sometime tomorrow. Though I have a feeling work will be particularly hectic. There is a 300+ person conference that I’m involved in co-ordinating, and it’s on Tuesday, and I’m getting lots of last minute panic emails from people looking for reassurance. In one case, it may be reassurance I can’t give. If you email me the day before the conference for a quirky technological need, chances are, it ain’t hapenning. But we’ll try…So Monday night at midnight I’ll drive home (1am), sleep (starts at 2), and then get up at (8am) to drive back to work (9is) so that I can be all over the conference (10:30am). I get the feeling it’s going to be one of those weeks.
