The accelerating slide toward the finish is continuing. Every day I get another surprise. The rewrite is going to be Hell, trying to work all this in. I have one entire sub-plot to go back and weave in. That being said, I’m really looking forward to it.
I’ve been thinking about how to handle the rewrite, and I’ve decided to use a variation on
Holly’s Line-ForScene technique. The variation is: for the first revision pass, I will use different colored index cards for each sub-plot. This way I can keep easily keep track of which ones need more work. I can immediately see and fine-tune the structure.
The excitement continues to build as I realize that I can actually finish this Beast. It is possible. Wow.

As a variation on today’s title, I went hypoglycemic last night. My blood sugar went to 61. Entirely too low for my comfort. In more ways than one.
This is also an accelerating trend. I don’t know whether to be worried or glad. My blood sugars have been way too high the past 6 months while I have worked out how to deal with Bipolar II Disorder. Now I’m using Byetta in addition to the Novolin, and the combination sometimes works too well.
It’s damned hard to balance medication and diet to get just that perfect combination. Practice, practice, practice. In the meantime, eternal vigilance.
