Two things on a Tuesday:

1. I keep going through the coffee cycle. I’m now 60 years old, so I’ve been through it a number of times now. It starts with an enjoyable cup of coffee in the morning. I’m very much a morning person – it may have something to do with growing up on a farm and years of shiftwork, but when the sky gets light, I’m awake. Coffee is not necessary, but it does pick the morning up in a lovely way. Because that first cup is so nice, I find I don’t stick at one cup per day, but gradually, over time, I work up to four or five. And then I notice that I’m getting a lot of acid indigestion and stomach upset. This was the case a few days ago, and so I have cut back once again to two cups.
2. I need to learn how to add a widget to each post that shows the progress on my current work. I could add it into the sidebar, I suppose, but I think a bar on each post as I make it tracks history better. Or perhaps I could create both: a current WIP progress widget at the top or side, and a snapshot of that widget at the time a post was made.

In the spirit of #2, I am currently at 87,000 of a targeted 95,000 words. Three or four more chapters should do it.
