I made it! I’m so happy with myself, I made my deadline and I managed to run through a quick re-read before I sent it off to a few friends who are going to read over it and give me their honest opinions! I feel dead.
I’m kind of on the fence now about whether to start a new project or wait for their opinions and start reworking the next draft because I know it’s going to need a lot of work.
Well, the roasting has begun. I am officially going to wait to really focus on another project, I think I’m going to dabble a little with a project I’d like to have a first draft of by the end of the year, but I’m definitely going to focus on the new draft of my current WIP, there are several pacing and actual structural errors so I’d like to get those fixed and then set it aside and let it settle while I work on other things.
Well, one day this week sucked. Not because my day at work was stressful, oh no. It couldn’t be that easy, no my entire digestive tract just decided to say Fudge you, and make me ill all day long. Yay! Nausea! I want to sleep.
I did get some work on my project done, so that was good. I would have liked to have gotten more done, but I suppose I’ll cut my self some slack.
Then of course, the very next day I felt alive again! You know there are days I just hate my body.
Anyway, I have gotten just about half way through my edits of my manuscript so I’m very happy about that. I do want to do some more art projects, but I also can’t get myself to not work on my manuscript. I mean, it’s so much fun and I’m getting so close to being done with this draft and round of edits.
I did not end this week on quite the high I wanted to, I didn’t get quite as far as I wanted and I didn’t do many jewelry projects, but life happens so I’m pretty okay with that. I feel like I get so caught up in what I want right now! Right this second I forget to take in what I already have, I’m trying to get better about being with the people I have with me and not on what I want. For instance instead of focusing on what I want my book done, I want to work on my jewelry, or art. I’m trying to be more involved with the people I live with who I love, as much as they drive me insane.
Irrationally optimistic.
Ann.
