Almost a month ago I posted about the status of my book, something that had been on the back burner of my life for ten years now. Work on it has taken various forms, there had been progress made only for that to be tossed aside... well, it's been a mess, not to put TOO fine a point on it.
Things are very, very different now and have been for much of this past year. A few months ago I had a breakthrough moment and was able to crank out the first few chapters of the story of my life. That has led to more, and more.
Maybe it will help to keep me on track to post a status of this memoir's progress, say each week on Sunday. Perhaps that will encourage me to stay committed.
Here it is as of September 22nd, 22024: so far, not counting the preface, there are fifteen chapters that have been written. I spent most of this past week working on one, that had really been making me struggle. It's still considered a VERY rough draft but early word that a dear friend I shared it with is that it's good.
There are going to be at least six parts. Part one is complete. There are five chapters done so far for part five, which is currently titled "Three Months and Three Ladies". I'm not writing this book in sequential order. Just working on it as the Muse leads me.
There is still a lot of work to be done. Ideally I would be producing two to three chapters a week, but I'll be happy if it's even just one. This book is finally getting the attention I needed to lavish upon it. It's not going to be rushed. But when it's finished, I will have written my life story, as well as such things are possible.
And that's how things stand now.
