ok, so here's the plan

I need to finish my play for the fringe and write a 10 min play for Ars Nova by the end of the month and then I'm getting back on this novel fulltime (or as fulltime as someone with a fulltime job anyway) and try and finish by Aug 17. We'll see how it goes. I'm sure I will have to interrupt the writing to work on some play rewrites but it is theoretically possible to finish the first draft of the novel by my 30th birthday.
