...Wow, life gets busy fast, eh? And of all times for me to really decide and pick up editing... less than a week before Christmas.
So I was what? Seven or Eight chapters into editing, and then I stopped for half a year. Now I suddenly want to try and finish the second draft before newyears? Well, here I am on my third day of editing since deciding to go editing-mad, and I just finished chapter twelve... If I can edit two chapters a day until new years (not editing on Christmas though) then I should be able to finish the second draft! So far, I've only been unable to manage that yesturday- but I was out for hlaf the day, so hopefully I can get that made up by doing three today or tomorrow... But I've at least done two today. *goes to check what the chapter thirteen wordcount is* 2,386. I SHOULD be able to do that today before friends come over for dinner.
Er, so yep. I'm setting mysself a rule from here on out that I can only log onto the DIOM forum if I've edited two chapters on that day. If I'm behind, I need to also do the amount of catch up chapters required. You won't BELIEVE how much time I spend online there. I probably could have finished editing and written another book by now if I wern't so lazy. Haahaa.
Here's my schedule for what I hope to get done this year in editing:
Chapters 12 & 13 = 20th of December
Chapters 14 & 15 = 21st of December
Chapters 16 & 17 = 22nd of December
Chapters 18 & 19 = 23rd of December
Chapters 20 & 21 = 24th of December
CHRISTMAS- 25th
Chapters 22 & 23 = 26th of December
Chapters 24 & 25 = 27th of December
Chapters 26 & 27 = 28th of December
Chapters 28 & 29 = 29th of December
And then if I absolutely need them:
Chapters ?? & ?? = 30th of December
Chapters ?? & ?? = 31st of December
So yep- quick blog post to let y'all know I'm still alive... (Might not be by 2011 though, which would be a real shame, because I was going to go camping.) And yeah, I'm editing...
