triumph.

I managed to slog my way through the rest of the scene. The rest is a matter of paragraphs, not pages, stitching things together and making the end work smoothly. I'm going to have to print it out and go through it backward again to deal with the rest of the detail work, because I honestly cannot see this book. I can barely see the new sentences and paragraphs I've written. I got through the rest of the scene today by basically writing somewhere between 1-3 sentences, playing 1-3 games of solitaire, wash, rinse, repeat. I also wrote front matter acknowledgements for the book, and think I managed to remember everybody who needed thanking.

It would no doubt be morally superior to go try to stitch the end together this evening, but it's just not happening. But I'm almost there. Five more miles. I probably won't finish tomorrow, but I might on Wednesday. That'd be nice. It'd be nice to not have it hanging over my head over the birthday weekend.

Ted very, very helpfully looked through the five or so icons I'd made up for my Have A Nice Day t-shirt, and after a good solid minute of considering them, chose his favorite. I am sufficiently fond of this icon as to be considering it as my default icon for a while. It makes me laugh. :)

I believe I'm going to spend a pleasantly brain-numbing evening watching "Meet the Fockers" and another LFN DVD.
