slow progress

I had a pretty good bout of writing just now - I'm sure that the powers that be will have all sorts of changes they want made, but it was nice to reread what'd I'd written and see several pages, all of them essentially on track.

Thanks to spending so many hours reading my students' prose I'm now one of the folks who compulsively notices errors in punctuation and spelling in everyday life. You'd think I could do this with my own prose. Nope. The advisor (may he live forever) thinks I need to proof-read more effectively. (sighs)

Now, now - no comments about my many typographical errors in your comment boxes. I just wanted to see if you were paying attention.

Now that it's coming around to school-time again, maybe your writing will kick into the gear that you want.

In fact, I had ended that previous sentence "...gear that you want it to be." Looking back, I see that the final three words were superflous.

Hey - congrats on making steady progress! Even if you feel "slow" at least you're moving. I think it's great that you've found a groove!
