I wrote half of the metadata chapter on the flight from Baltimore to Atlanta. (Yes, Baltimore to Denver via Atlanta.) I would have tried to finish it on the Atlanta to Denver flight but I just finally zonked out while waiting to take off and didn’t wake up for most of the flight. (Some of you know what it takes to get me to sleep on a plane.)
I also got an e-mail late Friday from my editor wanting a date for a first complete draft. He suggested April 1st and I’m tempted to shoot for that. I’ll have a better idea if that’s reasonable on Monday. (At least two more complete chapters will help appease him
I’ve also figured out that I need to rewrite some small bits form chapter’s I’ve already turned in. He’s cool with that as he not really going to start the editing process ’till all the chapters are turned in.
