I said that I would get the revised manuscript done by July 1st. July 1st is next week.
That is not going happen. Let’s say August 1st.
I am behind. The reasons are not interesting; everybody is behind and I’m less behind than lots of others. I don’t actually care that I’m behind other than wanting the satisfaction that comes with sending it back out.
Here’s some stuff that has happened since my April post:
Two chapters have split like amoebae. So they are now four, which will make them more readable.
Wormholes have been thoroughly explored regarding Levinas, earplugs, sublimity, and a few other topics.
My desk is a hideous mess and needs to be cleaned.
I got stuck in fatigue, but after temporarily abandoning it, I think I am ready to return to it this week and see if I can get it where it needs to be.
Two other chapters require some rewriting but the rethinking has happened. I am excited to get into those.
I have mapped out the requested conclusion in the form of a user’s manual for impairment theory, complete with legal disclaimers and instructions for disposal. I am essentially writing it as a mad lib.
So August 1st. My 50th birthday is a few days later so the timing would be ideal.
