It just means she's putting an end date on when she'd like a decision from them.
I get confused. I remember everything. I remember too much, and... some of it's made up, and... some of it can't be quantified, and... there's secrets.

“Not dead yet!”
Ah, okay. I've never heard that term. *files it away for future reference*

Well, I'm assuming? Closing is a term you'd generally use for an auction, but here I guess it just means that she'd like a response by then.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
I guess, you know, I could ask her!
But I felt dumb.

It's not dumb -- it's a new process for you. And remember, she works for *you*. Ask her whatever you need to.

I was a bit pinched for time this weekend, but hopefully tonight or tomorrow night I'll finally have 25 behind me and I can move onto 26.

"We're all stories, in the end. Just make it a good one, eh?"
I have reached the stage of the evening where my sentences say things like "Although arguably less rigorous in terms of validity and [the other one]..." because I am too tired either to remember or look up the right term. It may be time to stop writing.
Be that as it may, we are at 7000 words, people! Only 5-6000 more to go. (And some more research. But, still, y'know. Is good.) I am panicking slightly less. Which is not an entirely good thing, since it's mostly the panic that gets the work done. But it's a lot less tiring without.

Good god, I know that feeling. A deadline motivates me like nothing else. Especially one that's way close.

That sounds like great progress!

I got done with 25, well, at least done for this revision. Now I have to decide if I should insert a new chapter that will break with the MC POV and take a look at things back in Aimee's home city. I think I have a scene that will fill in a bit of backstory. I think I probably will, though I suspect I'll move the chapter in the next revision.
I'm very close to what I hope is the halfway point of this revision (60,000 words 11,000 words down from the rough draft)
