Unnecessary Roughness

The first draft of my latest WIP is done! I can’t even believe it! It’s been years since I’ve actually made it this far. And I still really like the story, which is even more impressive. I don’t mean just that I enjoy it or think it’s a good idea, but that I still find it interesting to write about. I’m still bummed that I never felt like finishing my previous book, but it never held my interest as much as this one has. I’m not sure what that says about it, but it’s something.

So the first draft is done, which means that it’s time to start editing. Usually I find editing to be such a bore, but I’m not dreading it this time, possibly because it’s been so long since I’ve actually done it. Actually, scratch “possibly”.

Anyway, I’m off to edit. Have an amazing day!

April Goals

It’s April. Hopefully this means that snow is done for the season. You’d think spring would mean, you know, spring.

I know. I complain about it a lot. It’s just that by this point I’m really sick of it. Anyway, goals.

March Goals

1. Get to 70K. This one I might not reach, but I’m going to try!

I did it! Plus some! And I’m so close to the end that I can see it! WOOOO!

2. Update my etymology page. I think I have three months of -leg posts to put in there.

Did this, too. All the -leg words are up, in case you missed them.

3. See if I can think up something fun to do for blog posts. I’ve been running low on ideas lately.

I don’t know. I thought this month was kind of fun.

So, pretty damn impressive over all. Definitely a successful month.

April Goals

1. Finish the book! If I haven’t already. As of this writing, I have two more chapters left. I may have already tweeted my victory, though.

2. Make a plan for editing!

3. Start editing!

Lots of exclamation points this month. Will I live up to the hype? We’ll have to see! What are you up to this month?
