Pressing on into the last round of writing on this story is taking a lot longer than I’d wanted. I spent the better part of three weeks traveling on business, and nearly a week later I’m still fairly jet-lagged. Or maybe 11 weeks of daily writing is the most I can do in one long run without some recharging.

Still, in about five weeks I’ll be taking a long vacation from my normal life. I want to have this story wrapped up by then, and I plan to make the time to do it. It’s a simple matter of putting one foot in front of the other.

I appreciate your patience. Thanks for reading.
