“How on Earth do you open this?” “Mmm, C4. Pipe bomb? Chainsaw!”

Goal 1) Revise TAP 2

My Goal: Finish one lesson every two weeks (roughly)
Where I planned to be: Lesson 21, 135/333 pages typed in
Where I am: Lesson 21, 146/333 pages typed in
On Target or Behind: On Target

How’s It Going:
I’m so excited to be done with this soon. I can’t wait to have Audrey read it.

~~I really need to figure out what the hell I’m gonna do about the title/cover.~~

I’ve started seriously thinking about the plot of book 3. I know what two of the main conflicts are gonna be, I just need to brainstorm how they’re going to play out. Some of the bits and pieces I scribbled down prior to writing book 2 no longer appeal to me and/or don’t fit with the overall theme/tone as much as I thought. I also haven’t quite nailed down how much time will pass between 2 and 3, but I do have some idea about where I want Madison to be at the beginning of the book.

But of course, nothing’s ever carved in stone.

I don’t see a difference

Goal 1) Revise TAP 2

My Goal: Finish one lesson every two weeks (roughly)
Where I planned to be: Lesson 21, 90/333 pages typed in
Where I am: Lesson 21, 100/333 pages typed in
On Target or Behind: On Target

How’s It Going:
Swimmingly. In fact, today I discovered an interesting parallel between Madison and Keziah that I never even planned, but it is so fitting, and it only helps what I’m going to do to her in the next book.

Cause I can’t go through three books without torturing my favorite angel. That would just be boring.

Sad songs and waltzes aren’t selling this year

Goal 1) Revise TAP 2

My Goal: Finish one lesson every two weeks (roughly)
Where I planned to be: Lesson 21, 45/333 pages typed in
Where I am: Lesson 21, 45/333 pages typed in
On Target or Behind: On Target

How’s It Going:
Purposely trying to go easy on this. Because knowing me, if I don’t pace myself, I will literally plow through half of this sucker in one go. Which probably wouldn’t hurt anything, but man would I be exhausted afterward.

I wish you were here

Goal 1) Revise TAP 2

My Goal: Finish one lesson every two weeks (roughly)
Where I planned to be: Lesson 20 complete
Where I am: Lesson 20 complete, starting Lesson 21
On Target or Behind: On Target

How’s It Going:
The type-in is here! I have 9 weeks before I have to send the MS to Audrey, but I’ll be surprised if I take half that long. This is the easy part.

Every little piece you took of my soul

Goal 1) Revise TAP 2

My Goal: Finish one lesson every two weeks (roughly)
Where I planned to be: Lesson 20, roughly halfway
Where I am: Lesson 20, definitely more than halfway
On Target or Behind: On Target

How’s It Going:

We’re getting there.

On a personal note, I’ve been working through some stuff with my psychologist regarding my last relationship. I’ve learned some things about him, things he did to other people, the other side of the story from some folks he had falling outs with. And I’ve come to some… not so pleasant conclusions. But I’m still here, I still have my friends and family. I can’t change what happened, but I’ve accepted it for what it is, and all I can do is move forward.

And on the plus side? I have a killer line for the climax of TAP 3.
