Resolutions Revisited: April
Okay, I don't seem to be getting with resolutions, but I think a draft of one or two of the articles needs to emerge this month. You'll also not that the word count for the seventies book has gone up - I've temporarily lied about ten thousand words as likely bibliography length.
38500 / 120000 words. 32% done!
