Last week, I wrote 4,263 on the current book, and did a lot of production work, including writing all the interstitial material for the box set that has been suddenly dumped into the production schedule to make up for my lax ways.

My week was completely hijacked. By something that feels a lot like the grinning clown in the picture. In other words, a boogeyman that mainly lives in my head. My grand plan for the last week did not happen. Here’s what did — and I’m embarrassed to put this out in public: MONDAY
