Still alive

Hey y’all. Just wanted to post something since it’s been a minute.

I’m still going through my mentorship with Story Grid, and I think it’s going well, even though it’s been tough. My mentor, Dave, is really cool and I think a really good fit for me. He tells me like it is, whether it’s good or bad. I feel like I’ve come a long way already in such a short time. I’m excited to continue to improve my writing.

As for book 3, I have been thinking about it recently. My schedule with Story Grid has been to get my “homework” assignment on either Friday or Saturday, with the due date on Tuesday. So I’ve been considering using either Wednesday or Thursday to slowly chip away at revising. I just need to figure out where to start.

Let hope burn in your eyes

Goal 1) Revise BM&A3

  • My Goal: Finish one lesson every two weeks (roughly)
  • Where I planned to be: Lesson 21, complete
  • Where I am: Lesson 21, complete
  • On Target or Behind: On Target

How’s It Going:
Ayo, it’s doooooooone!

Well, the revision, at least. Just gotta do some quick housekeeping bits before I send it off to Audrey.

Today I’m not, not afraid to die

Goal 1) Revise BM&A3

  • My Goal: Finish one lesson every two weeks (roughly)
  • Where I planned to be: Lesson 21, 240 pages in
  • Where I am: Lesson 21, 249 pages in
  • On Target or Behind: On Target

How’s It Going:
Ugh, so many handwritten pages to type in the last two weeks. But I think I’m done with the bulk of them now.

I’m on track to finish the type-in next week! And I’ve already reached out to my editor, Audrey, and she says I can send it to her as soon as I’m ready. She does have a regular job now, so she said she won’t be able to get it back to me quite as quickly as before, but that will give me time to finalize the cover and description. But we are certainly barreling toward the finish line here, folks. Not gonna count my chickens just yet, but I might be able to release this before the end of the year.
