Oh dear.  It’s April Fool’s Day.  Fortunately for me, my sister, the prankster of the family, is feeling ill so she won’t be pulling anything on me today.  Or, at least I hope not.  She’s a crafty one.

Well, anyway, I finally made it through Part One and am now in Part Two, which, as we all know, is so much more awesome.  Part One is necessary and has its good moments, but when I start to read Part Two, I’m like ‘oh, yeah, this is where it’s at.’  I think that maybe Part One is finally strong.  Of course it’s going to need more work (it always will) but I think now it’s solid and won’t need any more major renovations.  There is a weak section that my dad and I will have to consider carefully, but other than that I think (fingers crossed) it only needs minor work.  I really really want it all to be over and done, but I don’t see that happening soon.  I just gotta keep working at it.

So, as it stands now there are 77 chapters, 700 pages, and over 200,000 words.
