July... And Everything After update

Well, I tried an experiment tonight. I set up the document with the correct sizes, roughly the correct fonts (Linux doesn't have Times New Roman or Arial, so I had to use similar fonts), and started throwing things in. I put in all the "admin" pages (like the TOC, copyright page, title page, etc), then put all the poems in, 1 per page (and sometimes one would cover 3 pages!). I am now at 60 pages! Of course, some of those poems will not make the final cut, so I still need to roughly double what I have, but I'm farther than I thought I would be! That means I'm almost half done!!! Now for the fun parts: write more, and start arranging the story.... If I keep doing three a week, it'll take me 5 months to write 60 poems, so I've gotta start stepping up output! Hopefully, if all goes well, this thing will be out by Christmas....

You're farther along than I thought! :-)

You can do this!

I'm not nearly as far along as I though, so I need to get to writing!
