It’s hard enough being alone with myself

Goal 1) Revise TAP 2

My Goal: Finish one lesson every two weeks (roughly)
Where I planned to be: Lesson 17, 66/73 scenes in
Where I am: Lesson 17, 68/73 scenes in
On Target or Behind: On Target

How’s It Going:

So close! I’m super happy with where this is at. It really feels like it’s all coming together. There’s still quite a lot to do before it’s ready to publish, but we’re definitely on the downhill slide.

In other news, I’m going to try out some promotion strategies for TAP. So here’s to hoping there’s a few more of you reading these in the near future.

Like I don’t mind if you ruin my life

Goal 1) Revise TAP 2

My Goal: Finish one lesson every two weeks (roughly)
Where I planned to be: Lesson 17, 57/73 scenes in
Where I am: Lesson 17, 59/73 scenes in
On Target or Behind: On Target

How’s It Going:

Getting there. This week I did the last new scenes in my outline, and the rest of them are all on green cards (which is my code for minimal revision), so this should be cake.

I’ve also been looking into doing some marketing. Nothing crazy, I don’t have the funds for that, but… Well, to be honest, I haven’t sold any copies of TAP in over a year. So, ahead of releasing book 2, I figure it might do some good to try to promote the first one a little. We’ll see what happens.

Goal 1) Revise TAP 2

My Goal: Finish one lesson every two weeks (roughly)
Where I planned to be: Lesson 17, 48/73 scenes in
Where I am: Lesson 17, 48/73 scenes in
On Target or Behind: On Target

How’s It Going:

Now that I’m going through these scenes in the order I decided works best, they’re falling together WAY better than I thought they would. It’s almost like I planned it that way.

I’m getting my furniture and the last of my stuff from Chris’ tomorrow. It still doesn’t feel real. I keep going back and forth between “I’m better off” and “Maybe after some time apart, things could be different.” Why is anything less than a catastrophic explosion so much more painful?

There’s actually a few scenes I’ve worked on the last few weeks that hit harder now, and just… yeah.

Something in the way

Goal 1) Revise TAP 2

My Goal: Finish one lesson every two weeks (roughly)
Where I planned to be: Lesson 17, 39/73 scenes in
Where I am: Lesson 17, 36/73 scenes in
On Target or Behind: Behind

How’s It Going:

I could not stay awake yesterday, so late post is late and I’m a little behind. But it’s going well, everything is coming together the way I wanted it to.

You were the one that I wasn’t supposed to lose

Goal 1) Revise TAP 2

My Goal: Finish one lesson every two weeks (roughly)
Where I planned to be: Lesson 17, 30/73 scenes in
Where I am: Lesson 17, 29/73 scenes in
On Target or Behind: Behind

How’s It Going:

It’s been rough. Not just the book, but just… Existing. I really think it’s a testament to the Celexa that I haven’t been a complete basket case. That I’ve been able to pick up rock tumbling again, and at least consider various other projects I could do. Like turning the spare bedroom into my craft room…

Anyway. I’m getting to the point in the story where I really needed to reorganize scenes, and add a few new ones. It’s weird to go from writing a brand new scene to barely touching the page in the next.
