When I started this blog, writing about writing, I promised I would keep on top of it. I would post about the long list of topics I made to do with writing, indie publishing, reading, etc.
Whelp. In my defense, I've been busy working. I finished my second draft of Waiting for You. I've been beta reading several different works in different genres. Sadly, I am not working quite as fast as I hoped. In order to stay on schedule, I need to do my next set of revisions on Dance for You, finish all open betas, and do a final reread of And Then It Was You by March 1. And I HAVE to finish by March 1, because I need to start writing my Fourth of July novella on March 1, or it will be shelved until next summer. I do have a very extensive outline written, and I'm very familiar with the setting (which always helps), and the plan is for it to be 30k rather than 35k. BUT STILL. Last night, I was freaking out to my husband and he said, just move everything you're stressed about back by a month (A perk of creating your own deadlines). That's nice, but a Fourth of July book can't come out on July 20th. But, I know I can do it. Part of the reason I know I can is the amazing support system I've found among writers. Some are friends from college, some are new friends from twitter. March will be a crazy month, but then I'm taking off April from writing and concentrating on getting everything that will be published before August ready for publication (editing, formatting, covers) This weekend I'm heading to Las Vegas for my much younger sister's bachelorette party. I'm not a Vegas girl. I don't drink, I don't gamble, and going to a loud club is my personal brand of hell. But, it's what she wanted to do, so I will be boarding a plane to Sin City tomorrow. The silver lining is that I have two very long plane flights to get my mountain of work done. I'm also hoping everyone is hungover on Saturday and I can work and enjoy a walk in the 50 degree weather. Here's to smooth flights, no vomiting, and a productive weekend. I'm definitely the first person ever hoping for a productive weekend in Vegas. Love always, Lucy
