Now to bake a cake.

It took less than a year. Just under nine months, May 28th to March 1st. The first pass of the first draft, start to finish. Beginning, middle, and end. I'd wrestled with two unsuccessfully attempts at something else, started this one, restarted it, found a groove, and now I have the beginnings of something I can work with. Not quite a manuscript yet. But I've reached the stage in a project where I'm not sure where to go next, which is always a nice place to find yourself. It means you're moving onto something else.

The surveying is completed. Next up comes the mining. And after that, the carving the angel out of the marble.

Also thinking of a title, but that's signing the bottom of the statue, which is way off in the future.
