Weekly book update

I'll try to do a book update once a week...

This week I made moderately good progress, even with the distraction of Python. I got the first two chapters (well, really 2 & 3, but i'm starting with 2... you get the idea) mostly done. They each have another couple pages to write, but I'm getting into this mode of wanting to jump around a bit to write the section that interests me the most. Another piece of advice I got was to "just write". Instead of forcing myself to write something that I"m not excited about right now, I'm letting myself jump around to keep making progress every day.

I have around 67 pages of content, so I got through about 17 pages this week. My goal was 16 pages a week, so I'm on track.

I've started playing with the section about visuals (2d, 3d, etc), and I'm running into a problem with Word as my document editor. I find I can't capture the quality of Avalon in Word easily (lots of screen captures, etc.). I'm trying to think about how to integrate Avalon into my document workflow...
