I've been working all day on this section and am just now starting to squeeze out some paragraphs before bed. Probably I'll finish it up tomorrow morning in the 1369. It's nice to make any progress at all, and this particular section is arguably the most critical thing to fix, since it covers a crucial topic but was hailed by all the tech reviewers as being WEAK as it stood, but it's nonetheless frustrating to feel like I've covered so little ground.
I feel I made timing errors again, because at this rate, even if I finish reworking this section by tomorrow morning I am almost definitely not going to be able to hit all the stuff I want to hit before Thursday. But, I don't think I'll ask for an extension, if we do tackle all the major issues by then. The book won't be Exactly How I Want It, but it'll also Not Suck, and, really, I would like it to stop eating my life now, thank you.
So, from that point of view: four more days.
Tomorrow I'm slated to check in with Linda and Erik again, and I'll share this view with them. They'll probably say: sounds good. (Though I may sic Erik on a specific last-minute task or two that I have in mind.)
