The Journal, Saturday, 12/24

Hey Folks,

Well, I now have a grandson living with me. He needs a little help, and I suspect it will help me as much as it helps him. I mention this only because my schedule will inevitably change.

I will continue to write (and for now, edit), of course. And I will try to remember to post this Jounal each day. If I happen to miss a day now and then, just know I’ll be back a day later.

Today it will be all editing. I began the day -5 pages, so in the hole. To pull even, I need to edit 40 pages today. If I can do enough over that, I won’t have to edit in the morning, save in the very early morning when everyone else is still asleep. (grin)

I hope you all have a wonderful, very merry Christmas.
