5 down, 2 to go…

As hard as it is for me to believe this, I have managed to stick to a fairly insane writing schedule, churning out words and scenes hour after hour, day fter day. It is all first draft, and the writing itself is probably atrocious (although my friend Jeremy Bornstein, who is reading it for me as an incentive for me to actually Get It Done, claims he is enjoying it a lot).
I have written an average of 3000 words a day for 5 solid days now. This does not mean I am a good writer, by the way, in case anyone wants to use me as a model (ha!) If I can do 2 more days of that, then I will have the first draft of the first segment of the book (the book being made up of 3 segments.)
Jeremy is the best first-reader I could ask for, because he is not a Shakespeare geek, and this book is going to be filled with Shakespeare-geek moments. If he doesn’t get any of them, but still enjoys it… that’s a promising sign.
