Too Caffeinated, but That's a Good Thing.

Stimulated with caffeine too late at night, I at least got some good writing done. In an hour and fifteen minutes, I am now up to the middle of page 131. The page total is going to contract as I cut things earlier in the work.

This is really the second start to it. I realized after the first start that the first chapter had to be totally rewritten. It wasn't going to work. Because I change that, I had to change subsequent things, and in fact restructure it, in which whole chapters were either cut or re-stacked in a different order. As I'm writing, I'm going back and I'm making it more seamless. In fact, I probably got 2 1/2 pages done.

Since I am going very consistently at one page an hour, I believe I could have this draft done in 220 hours of work at most.

That is 8 1/2 weeks full time work. That is if I do not get writers' block. I do not think I will, but then again, that is something like what people thought about the housing bubble.

I saw "An Inconvenient Truth" tonight, and in the process, I got to meet a few neighbors, Clark and Barbara. Some old-timers living in town. They remember when this place was farm-land and forest. It is good to know somebody besides my next door neighbor "Lisa" and her young son, and the apartment manager.

It is too bad some people have been made to discount it, because this movie and its argument about Global Warming are blockbusters. For people who think there is another side to this argument, it is quite conclusive. There is actually no scientific controversy here. Of a sample of 938 articles surveyed on the subject, zero opposed the proposition that Human made Global Warming is occurring. Zero. This is pretty conclusive, and the changes taking place are in the climate are very radical and worrisome.

I have to spend the rest of my slight waking time looking up more things about this.
