Finished it! I am tired as hell but got it done. Time to get back to the rest of my life! I love Ali and Bethany and Emily and Shakespeare but I need my real life friends again!
I have 48 hours to get my shit together and finish this book! I'm reworking the ending and I can't seem to get my characters on the same page. They are being difficult! Hrmphf! Oh, but I am back on Twitter. Magically got that taken care of... don't know how, but I won't question it. Perhaps I'm lollygagging because I know I
Who gets shut down on twitter!?!? Ah that would be me. Guess they did not like me changing email addresses during the process. Now I must wait for them to scold me and reopen the account. Geez... I am finally on twitter! Yeah, me. I don't know what to tweet that I haven't already said here, but yeah, me!
I like to sell things. I am actually good at it. I'm taking a break from editing and straightening up my ebay room so that I can jump back into it when I'm done. I hate being idle. Meetings and seminars are my death. I am taking tomorrow off to extend my weekend so that I can get this done! This week has been super busy at work and when I get home I want to sleep. Last night I fell face first in my bed and didn't move. Today I have a crease in my cheek that looks like a scar from Hook. I have been up two hours and it hasn't faded much. I shall remain hidden until lunch... It's Monday and I almost called in sick today so that I can finish seaming up this rewrite! I'm sure there will be future edits, but time just hasn't been my friend this time around and I'm lagging. I need encouragement! And presents. Always presents. Gummy bears are accepted as well. So I can't watch 'Goodfellas' during my edits because suddenly my characters are tense and are handling things in a very different way. I need peaceful, loving music instead. Only 12 more days and 3,000 miles of words...
For the record, I really don't like Track Changes in Word. I can't read anything. Nothing but red and lines and red lines! So I have to read my story aloud in order to understand it. I haven't spoken this much... ever. My gf is excited and wants to hear 2 chapters a night. I need a podium. At home.
I am finally getting over my horrific I-survived-this-nastiness cold! That was not the best way to start the new year. Now I am working on my second round of edits and yes, it is overwhelming and yes, they are kicking my ass, but yes, it is for the best. I find myself agreeing with most suggestions, changes, etc. I was kind of hoping to submit my manuscript, sit back and smoke a cigar (I don't smoke, but it sounds like a celebratory thing to do) and go out and push my book onto my friends, other lesbians, and anybody willing to read it. There is definitely more work to this than I originall
