GR: parts and sections

This seems a logical division of labor. By my quick
count there are about 23 sections in part 1. Posts
might be headed:  GR, P2-S3: "cock, cunt, the
Monday rain..." (for example), or some similar
method of bookkeeping. Part 3- "In the Zone",
is the longest, about twice that of Part 1- "Beyond
the Zero", and should be allotted twice the time.

I don't think things need to be scheduled more
tightly than a given slice of time per Part. The
logic of the narrative, and the  inspiration/perspiration
of the participants will guide the flow from there.

The major decision would be- How many weeks
per part? Generally speaking, Part 3 the most,
Part 1 about half that, and Parts 2&4 half again.
Or, you could decide when we should finish and
divide the total interval according to that formula.

Otherwise, I'm likely to remain on page 1 for
two maybe three months.
