Got up, walked and ran my two miles, fruit and coffee, did some reading, cleaned up, coffee and toast, started working on The Last Essay, some minor distractions, back to work on TLE, lunch, a bit more work on TLE and… to my giddy astonishment — it seems to be done. I will surely have to make some editorial changes, but it’s in the editors’ hands now, and I own no editor anything. I am more or less a free researcher.
That means that in the near future, I’ll begin plugging away at The Last Book. I can’t tell you what sheer joy it will be to finish writing that (if the time be given me to finish it).
