Ahead of Schedule?

Today, I finished the draft of DX. All the chapters are now written, including the ending. I'm so close to 20,000 words that it doesn't matter. A couple of chapters need work, but now the torture is over and the agony of editing begins. I'm going to try a couple of new editing tips I've heard about. I will report back on the success. Or not.

In other good news, our California weather is back. It's been gorgeous the last few days. Spectacularly wonderful. Blue sky, slight breeze, 75 degrees. Ahh. The Bluebirds have shown up, along with a whatsicallit, a Grosbeak something, that is a really gorgeous reddish orange. Everybody's outside in their yard mowing down 4 foot tall weeds, except me because I am not in charge of outdoor maintenance. I'm tempted to throw discipline to the wind and haul a book or two out of my TBR pile and just read.
