Oooh, is that a tailwind?
I’m three days into the chapter on what atheists tend to believe, and what they tend not to believe, and why.
I was worried about this one in deadline terms for three reasons:
• It’s not as cut and dried as the history and works section
• For reasons I won’t bore you with, I have just 3 weeks this finish this 25% of the book, not 5
• 3 < 5
But ooh! To my surprise, I've caught me a tailwind. This chapter is flying off the fingers, 2K a day without breaking a sweat, and I finish each day with enough energy to grouse about how hard my day was.
I think I know why it’s going well: I had to double-check every date and name and fact in the history section, while this part is basically blogging — expressing what are hopefully educated opinions on things I’ve thought about, read about, and written about for years.
It was also a challenge to make some parts of the history engaging, but this actually DING!
