It was a beautiful day in Northeast Wisconsin, with temperatures in the teens, with wind chills, not so bad, still above zero.
I had an appointment this morning with my counselor. I'm winding down on that part of my life as I'm finally in the maintenance end of it, which is good. When I got home I worked on my book and took a needed nap.
I'm nearing the end of the book, but as much as I take out, I'm also adding in, so the page count hasn't changed, and the word count is still above 200K. I have just over a hundred pages to go on this first edit. I know there is still a lot more to do with the book, so there will be another edit, but not right away. I need to step back from it for a bit. It's very emotionally draining. I can only imagine what the reader will feel when they read it.
I know I was only here for a little while this morning, but I need to get away from the computer and regroup. I'll be back tomorrow to tackle my nearly one hundred notifications. I only have one thing to do tomorrow, and that's to get my blood pressure retaken and hope it's returned to normal.
I hope you have had a good day. See you tomorrow.

This book seems more taxing and intense for you to write. Soon it will all come together, just as your other storied did:) Blood pressure is a big concern, as we get older. Mine is finally coming down

We had a quiet day, some housework and then out for an early dinner at Bob Evans.

It seems we are both having nice days. I live in the southwestern part of my state and this is the second or third day we have had about above 50 weather.

@just4him ....The ski resort near us was able to open for the week-end. That's always good to see.

I sure hope your blood pressure is back to normal tomorrow. And hope you get those darn notifications done too!
Too bad about the book not going how you want yet but i know you'll get it there.

First edit finished. I did manage to get the word count down under 200K, though the page count is still 760. Still a lot to do with it. Will start the next edit in a few weeks. BP is back to normal. So, that's good too. As for the notifications, they are high.

I finished the first edit yesterday before I went to bed. I'm going to set it aside now for a little while and come back to it in a few weeks. Then start on the next edit. I know there is a lot of work yet to do on it.

It'll be on schedule if I publish it this year, which I'm hoping to do. Thank you.
