rushthatspeaksUpon having dumped the 365 Books entries for the first six months, sans relevant comments, into a text document and hitting wordcount:
the first half is 123,485 words long.
The first half.
And the book wants to have, you know, an introduction, and biographical stuff in it, and some kind of organization, and oh God I am going to have to cut three-quarters of these to make any kind of reasonable manuscript length, aren't I.
And at some point I will need to put the rest of them up on my website and index them and aaagh I hate everything so much right now how am I EVER going to get this organized.
On the one hand, I wrote like four books last year, in length, if the second half is like the first. On the other hand, now I have to get ONE book out of it.
