Today -- a month-and-a-half and 225 pages later -- I have finished the first draft of my novel. And I have a plan to keep it from getting out of hand during the revisions, like with my last one.

I also have a notebook to keep track of things, and organize my thoughts -- with details of every character's life that I'm never going to use, but which is good to know. I was inspired in this by hearing so much of J.K. Rowling's system of notebooks. Of course, she has even more information to keep track of than I do.

I think I'll be able to finish this before my self-set deadline of next November.

I've also written a page and a half on my 14-18 page Findley/Atwood/Jung essay. I've scarcely begun research, and I think I already have enough material.
