This morning I
opted to get straight to the editing before working on my blog and morning
pages. The day had a potential to get
away from me. I was determined to get
the novel finished. At about 6:15 am, I
started with a scene. I worried. I had time issues, name issues, and detail
issues. The editing slowed
considerably. Oh, no.
Since I did so
well the day before, another ten scenes, I took a deep breath and managed to
get three scenes done before taking Madelle into town for a meeting and a hair
appointment. Being a disjointed couple of hours, I opted to let the novel rest
while I worked on a talk for a retreat that I have to give in a few short
weeks. I was correct. I was interrupted the whole hour I tried to
work while at Starbucks. I actually
wrote a page of my talk, very rough, while at the hair appointment. Once home, I hit the last two scenes. Yes, I made it. I am still on time with my deadline. The novel is finished!!! Well, with the writing part.
Of course, I
almost forgot my blog post. I was so
happy to take a break that the rest of my work slipped my mind. I was just watching an episode of Alone when
I realized I almost forgot the blog entirely.
That would have been tragic. But
here I am, getting er done!
On my calendar
for tomorrow, I have formatting, design the cover, and send this much to Dean
electronically. This is a must. I also want to be able to load my cover and
book onto Amazon. If I can get that
done, I am golden until next week when I check the status of how it all
loaded. Of course, I have never loaded
to Amazon without some mistake that kicks it out. The good news is that I have a week to work
out any kinks. Then I send the hard copy
book to Dean.
What will I do
Friday for work? Start my next book, of
course. I will keep you posted.
