Hey guys!
So it's been kind of a crazy week for me. Obviously I released that mini-series of posts that I plan on adding to as I go forward. My classes here at school have started up for me which added to the whirlwind that life already is. Then on top of all of that I'm working my way through the first draft.
No one cares about the sad story that is my inability to work as much as I would prefer though, so let's dive right in.
I got my hard copy this week. Let me tell you, it's a beautiful thing. If I was proud to have done this before, holding the thing made it that much better. Then I thought about it and realized that I was in for a long hard time.
So far I made it about halfway through, page 53. That's after a week's worth of work on it and no actual changing of it yet. I just go through and mark down what I'll have to change later, I'm calling it passive editing.
My pages that I have done are covered in highlighter and notes and while it makes me happy that I can find the ways to make it even better, it makes me wonder if its even decent at all.
Don't worry, I won't get discouraged and stop just because I'm realizing the way that I say things kind of sucks. It takes a lot more than that to get me to stop doing anything.
In other writing news, I keep spinning ideas for the next book in the series around in my head. I actually have it down to three main story arc possibilities which I'm really excited about. More on that in the weeks to come though.
If school wasn't slowing me down enough, rush starts this week so I need to be conscious and working within that too. It's going to be a relatively unproductive rest of the month for me but hopefully I'll be able to power through and finish up my second draft and maybe even start my next book.
Find me on Twitter and Facebook for more frequent updates from me, and subscribe to this blog to get notified whenever I post something. Questions or suggested posts go in the form on the right and I'll get around to answering them as soon as possible. As always, thanks for reading guys!
