- My first late chapter! This was put up in place of the chapter on the
date it was supposed to go up. And I didn't even make that announced date, and delayed putting up
the chapter to a week after that on Jan 10th.
- The delay turned out to be a good thing however. While I was waiting, I ended up writing full drafts of the
rest of the volume, and tweaked it to make it much better.
- The most important thing I learned from all of this experience, is that it is extremely important to save
all ideas. I lost two partial drafts from saving incorrectly, or something else. I did try to get it
out in time even though I didn't have my work with me. I know the basic outlines for all these chapters,
but trying to rewrite it from scratch wasn't working. The initial ideas as I flesh out the outlines weren't
coming back to me, and the natural flow and feel of the chapter wasn't coming back in the same way.
