I did the math. I have 13 hours of free time each week where I also have mental acuity. This is my window each week to work on my book. My book will take 300 hundred hours. This will take me about 6 months. So by Christmas I will have a decent rough draft. I can do this. God, it's going to take so much time and effort. I have 92 pages in prose, half of which have turned into lyrics with end rhyme and alliteration and all the other tricks of the trade. Themes are pretty ****ing great. I've read quite a bit of great literature and I'm going to have to say this is pretty ****ing great. Okay, I have a big head but don't I have to have the confidence?(!) if I don't then Ill dwell in doubt and it'll never get finished!

Six months. You're no longer a construction worker. You are a writer. I can do this.
