I know I haven't posted anything in a couple weeks...although I believe it was only two. Oh well.
I was really sick for a while and had a lot of work to catch up on-still do! And against my prediction earlier, during that time I did not write, because I was still stuck in a huge slump. Possibly, I've had these before, but I've only started seriously writing in June, so I'm not sure. Anyway, a couple of days ago I forced myself to lie down in the pitch dark (okay I had a light) and write into the wee hours of the morning. I, uh, unfortunetly then had to get up early the next day, but it was worth it! I finished another chapter! Finally, after two weeks!It felt like a great accomplishment.
Unfortunately a whole load of new issues were dumped upon my poor little plot. Good issues, 'cuz they keep readers reading, but it's hard to keep track of the questions I ask and make sure I answer them. Hopefully, my pre-beta can help me with that. She's pretty good at asking questions. (can you feel the sarcasm? good.)
To make matters a little (a lot) worse, my computer somehow contracted a virus that then installed fake spyware and now the whole thing's messed up so I have to slip onto other computers when people go to the bathroom. So the new chapter I just wrote up still hasn't been typed up. On the plus side, I broke down my entire book, including what I need to do to finish. I will gladly share it to you, because I can tell your all
soo interested.
Chapters completely done and typed: 1, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 10 (8/15)
Chapters that are at least written: 1, 3-11 (10/15)
Chapter on hold: 2
Chapters half-written: 12
Chapters in need of typing: 9, 11
Chapters not written: 13, 14, 15
I have 5 chapters to write and in a perfect world, at most it should take 4 days to finish one chapter. 20 days form now, is November 5th. I should be done by then, but that most likely won't happen. But I have to try.
I know, I'm not funny. It's late. I'll be funny next post. Promise.
