Update 11/25/24

I'm just slightly behind the most recent plan. I had wanted to be done with Crystal Core 5 this past Friday. As it stands now, I have to finish Chapters 41, 42, and the epilogue to complete that series.

I'm aiming to do that today. Then I will be moving onto Welcome to the Multiverse book 6: Control. I began my reread of Contention yesterday in preparation.

As for this week- Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday are regular work days. That means the working goal is 3 chapters a day.

Thursday is Thanksgiving here in the US and my favorite holiday of the year. Why? Because it's about the food and family not about giving gifts and so on.

That said, my wife is a nurse and so she doesn't always get holidays off and will be working day shift on Thursday. So, my goal is to get 2 chapters done during the day, between me cooking the Thanksgiving meal for 21 people which I'll serve at 5:30 pm. Sounds overwhelming? Actually, I've cooked the Thanksgiving meal for the past 8 years. I also have an incredibly helpful and talented cook for a 17 year old daughter and less helpful but still willing to participate other kids.

Friday is gonna be hit and miss. My goal is to write one chapter on Friday, but that is the day that we put up our Christmas tree every year. Now, the family ritual is supposed to be that I go pick out the tree with the kids and then my wife and kids put it up and decorate the house. Sometimes I have to help get decorations out of storage. And I'm also tasked with making Dad's Famous Hot Chocolate for everyone to enjoy.

The weekend will likely be hit and miss as it has been lately, but my working goal is to complete one chapter on both Saturday and Sunday.
