Sometimes it’s time to pony up and JUST GET IT DONE. I haven’t necessarily been putting it off, but I guess I have been. Without deadlines, things tend to flounder. So, in the spirit of NaNoWriMo, in the spirit of Parkinson’s Law, I’m going to finish The Last Championship in 30 days.

Here’s where I am in a double spaced Word doc: 194 pages and 55,160 words.

Suffice to say I’m probably 2/3rds of the way done as is, but I’ve been squatting on this final third for far too long.

Imposing a tight deadline will get it into the stage where it can then be properly rewritten.

I’ll let you know how it goes on March 7, subsequently the first full day of the AWP Conference in Boston.
