I just finished "rounding-up" chapter three from a zero draft to a first draft -- now on to chapter four, which should not take long in that it is mostly transcripts of my Communion Meditations. A first draft is a form that can finally be given to someone else to read and offer comments for improvements -- whereas a zero draft is mostly in a form only I can comprehend. So, my hope is to quickly get comments on my first draft chapters to continue on toward submitting my work to the committee.

I'm on page 137 of 191 -- or 71% through the zero-draft-to-first-draft process, not including the currently 35-page bibliography.
