Miles keep getting added to the book. Around 5:00 PM today, the word count was: 59,366. Saturday and Friday night were spent getting ready for the first climbing trip of the season (I am exuberant over here), but I was able to get some text on the page during the afternoon. Then came today, I hit my stride by turning off my phone and listen to some Gustav Mahler. Four amazing chapters poured out of me, and I realized that I am close to done. Journey to God only has three to five chapters till the rough draft is complete. As I write this post, I realize I am spent. Thus, I decided to go to bed now (8:02 PM my time) and continue writing in the morning.
There is some good news, the short story hiatus will be lifted soon. Oh, and don’t worry, I have been stock piling all the ideas that I wanted to write over the last couple of months. Based on my pace, expect a short story in two weeks. Journey to God should be completed Tuesday and that means my self imposed ban will be lifted. Man, it feels good to read and write.
