Is it April already? Seems like just yesterday we were slogging through the snow, and now the sun is brutal and bright. Where has all the time gone?

As for progress, I’ve been working my way through the third draft, and as far as epic struggles…this book is kicking my butt. The second draft felt too short, and my readers agreed. There were other parts that bothered me, an imbalance of characters, and so…. There are more characters in the third draft. Adding them seamlessly, and with maximum impact, is not an easy thing. Plus, I’d really like to be done, and moving on to the next book.

Which brings me to the progress bars. They are down there, at the bottom of each page, but they are misleading. The first looks like the book should be done, but it’s not. The second looks like I’m working on the next book, but I’m not. What can you say? No much, but work continues.

I am reminded of this verse, out of Proverbs, “In his heart a man plans his course, but the LORD determines his steps.” To me, this tells me that I may have lots of plans, but I only end up going where God wants me to go, and I cannot change that. Or if I do end up changing where I go, then things will only turn out worse. Can’t have that, can we?

Back to juggling cats.
