GOAL 1) PUBLISH SKOS
- My Goal: Spend at least 10 mins, 3 days/week minimum
- Where I planned to be: Spent at least 30 mins
- Where I am: Somewhere
- On Target or Behind: Probably on target
How’s It Going:
The bad news is, the copyeditor I was going to use has disappeared off the face of the planet.
The good news is, instead of typing in my edits on Tuesday, I spent most of the morning trying to find someone else and I was… pleasantly surprised at how easy it was. All three of the folks I queried responded very quickly (although one was booked solid until November of next year! and another was… very pricey) and I’m scheduled for the week of September 14th.
Which means I need to have my changes typed in by the 13th, which gives me… 3 weeks. Piece of cake. (I’ve been going backwards so the page numbers stay lined up between page and screen, and I’m already on page 11, so.)
GOAL 2) REVISE SYCU
- My Goal: 2 Lessons per month/ 1 Lesson every 2 weeks (except L17 and L21, which get 4 weeks min)
- Where I planned to be: Lesson 17, finished
- Where I am: Lesson 17, finished
- On Target or Behind: On Target
How’s It Going:
IT’S DONE.
Okay, it’s not done done, but this part of the revision is probably the most brutal and time consuming, especially for this book (probably for any book, idk), and I managed to do it in a few weeks instead of…
…years. -coughs-
GOAL 3) SURVIVAL
- My Goal: 500 WPD, 1500 WPW
- Where I planned to be: 31500 words
- Where I am: 31885 words
- On Target or Behind: On Target
How’s It Going:
If you’ve ever seen Bob’s Burgers, just imagine the groaning noise Tina makes when she’s anxious.
For everyone else, here’s a clip. (It’s also a… startlingly accurate representation of how I felt the first time I drove a car, except I knew how to turn and I didn’t hit anything).
Everything’s fine, I promise, I’m just… Ehhhhhhhh.
