whoa—am I ahead of schedule?

If I'm ahead of schedule, it's by only a day, but it still feels good to be on top of things. I want to get back to completing my movie-review book. You may recall the schedule I'd laid out:

This weekend: Work on five weeks' content for The Entertaining (through April).
Also this weekend: Repopulate scheduled posts for the blog.
This coming week, Mon-Tue: Create eight weeks' content for The Creative.
This coming week, Wed-Sat: Create eight weeks' content for The Superficial.
3/1-3/7: Create eight weeks' content for The Profound.
3/8-3/14: Get back to creating the first movie-review book.
3/16-3/20: Walk the Geumgang bike path. (This year's "long" walk, only 146 km.)
3/21-end of March: Finish creating the movie-review book.

I've now gotten through all of this:

This weekend: Work on five weeks' content for The Entertaining (through April).
Also this weekend: Repopulate scheduled posts for the blog.
This coming week, Mon-Tue: Create eight weeks' content for The Creative.
This coming week, Wed-Sat: Create eight weeks' content for The Superficial.
3/1-3/7: Create eight weeks' content for The Profound.
3/8-3/14: Get back to creating the first movie-review book.
3/16-3/20: Walk the Geumgang bike path. (This year's "long" walk, only 146 km.)
3/21-end of March: Finish creating the movie-review book.

Now comes the hard part—content for The Superficial and The Profound. I may as well take a short break, then start on The Superficial tonight. While I'd love to be done with The Profound before March rolls around, that's probably not going to happen: The posts I do for The Profound are lengthy and detailed. They also contain quizzes, and you can't just write out quiz questions willy-nilly: you have to follow certain criteria to make sure your questions are fair, and that you're quizzing your learners on what they've actually learned.

Anyway, I have to whip up 18 posts each for The Superficial and The Profound. If I do nine posts of the Superficial by tomorrow (Tuesday), then another nine by Wednesday, and if I somehow manage the miracle of creating three posts per day for The Profound, I can be done by March 3, putting me way ahead of schedule. From March 4 to March 14, I can get back to working on the movie-review book, then do my five-day Geumgang walk, then finish the ebook version of the movie-review book a few days before the end of March. A week or so after that (early April, theoretically), the print version of the book (print-on-demand) ought to be ready at Amazon. Fingers and tentacles crossed.
