April 19th 2017: I have 73, 650 words and I’m very close to the end now, there is really one almighty scene left to unfold, and yet it might not be quite the right ending, might leave the reader high and dry and kind of frustrated, so I have thought of another ending which is quite Gothic in its feel that I could put in behind the big dramatic scene. I’m glad to have arrived here. In fact I have another three weeks before 4th May, the date I set myself to finish on. Yet if I start to take it easy, I’ll lose momentum and the rhythm of the thing, so I am compelled to go on. I haven’t gone back to read any of the entries since I started this journal, and actually, I am running out of things to say about it.
